the munich resident florian senfter aka zombie nation or john starlight is well-known as the creator of tracks like kernkraft 400, souls at zero, space marines and last not least blood angels, which can also be found on the sound of the third season, and is thus a reliable choice for sweaty, energetic eruptions up to the fringe of demolition. this doesnt change significantly on road rage, which was originally released by ukw in a limited number of copies and is now the first sign of life from senfters studio, after three years of abstinence. with timehonoured plus 8 references and acid elements, the original recollects an almost gone quality of techno: to blow away your skullcap with the unashamed joy of telling stories, many breaks, some funky dirtyness and experimental noise playfulness. exclusively made for cocoon was the remix by parisian turbo producer popof who gives the track an even more intense gross-grained feeling. one does not have to be a prophet at all to tell that both versions are facing a great future in club autumn 2008 and beyond

played by: oliver huntemann, butch, popof, kiko, ricardo villalobos, tobi neumann, adam beyer, ivan smagghe, stephan bodzin... ji-fi is a new artist from belgium who was actually suggested to afu by none other than popof, who himself recently had a very rocketing career ! ji-fi has had a few releases and remixes on smaller labels already and serves just right with his first one for afulimited ! its truly influenced by popof, but ji-fi already takes it some steps further and rocks off with katapult ! it has all the bleeps, the driving bassline, the freaky sounds and the lovely break that will let everyone go mad in the clubs ! madness guarantied ! taste my visit and gougou complete the ep and it will surely be hard not to play all of them ! born in 1982, this belgian new producer has everything to foreseen him a good future. intrigued by music since his early age, playing piano with his grand father, everyone knew that music was a part of him. dj since 1997, he has visited lot of places of his country. from minimal to techno, his dj sets are always restless with a big groove. heís a great fan of funky bass and delayed melody coming from nowhere with space and warm sounds to complete and personalize his tracks. summer break is over and here we go with new energy

from its hallmark opening bassline, to the synth heavy powerchords of the whistle along chorus, theres no straying from the fact that metronomys future single heartbreaker is catchy as hell. its an electronic ode to male heartbreak that ll both cut you to the quick and have you dancing all the way to the therapists chair. sonically, heartbreaker is perhaps metronomys most precise, radio friendly, and sure fire hit single to date. it best represents the straight forward genius of a band who ve been sitting on sizeable chunk of pioneering electronic ideas since mount first began recording under the bands moniker in 2005. they ve maintained a wholly modest approach to stardom whilst amassing an army of strangely obsessive fans. with a full package of club floor fillers and luxurious disco mixes, heartbreaker is the most zeitgeist capturing record of the moment, a must have for pop lovers, dance lovers, indie kids and the discerning music consumer.

ian rogers has worked on different projects such as sweaty men, jean edouard lipa, studio 80 signed in several countries like france, benelux, germany or asia. he also has composed several tracks from the shanna album (l’album interdit) and is releasing just now his first track the reason under his own artist name. muttonheads is definitely found of the track and is making a first remix. major bryce, the reference dj of jumpstyle-hardstyle scene is also very interested in the reason and praises the concept in the pure jumpstyle spirit. a promising future for this new talented artist of the french electro scene

support from efdemin, loco dice, sebo k, shinedoe, dave dk, agnes, d julz, serafin, ame, ben watt, ray okpara, sasse, luke solomon, peace division & ashley beedle, among others... anonym is the one who is anonymous. his music, however, is anything but anonymous. hailing from the mecca otherwise known as detroit and with releases on his very own anonymous releases and on sushitech, anonym embraces in his music the ways of future past of the motor citys unique techno scene. anonyms new release arrives exactly when detroit techno is again paving the way to the future by transforming the now: post minimal strategies and a desire to find its own place in the tradition, make the music signed by anonym a strong creative statement, something that could only be cooked by a detroit native, but that resonates all over the world. for remix duties, we asked our good friend patrice baumel to take it amsterdam style. detroit techno has a strong hold on amsterdams music makers but the natives of the city of the best coffee shops in the world have also always shed a different light on their own productions. patrice is a perfect example of this: his originality and fierce work ethic has gained him a place in get physical and trapez. we were hoping for something special from patrice and he definitely delivered, taking shanghai express in a completely new direction, making it something else, but also his personal tribute to the city of cosmic cars and vital underground resistance

audiowhores own label with a deep and deadly package with roland clarks preacher style vocals calling for a new world order!! early indications are this is a future classic, house with a feeling with mixes for a variety of tastes.

after several very successful releases on gigolo records and tigas turbo label, swiss producer daze, a.k.a. plastique de réve, unleashes a 12inch on death from abroad that has the potential to be a future classic. this time he leaves behind the dark, ebm influenced attitude and goes deeper on one side of the record, while showing his fun loving, tongue in cheek approach on the flip.

is there more to life than house music? for the swedish dj/producer mikael nordgren: probably not. since 2004, he has been steadily churning out some of the best future house tunes from his studio located in stockholm. his productions have been released under many aliases including dmalicious, 12th floor and for get physical under the mighty moniker of tiger stripes. the blacker the music, the sweater the sound. a potential anecdote that fittingly could have inspired mikael when he composed the warm and supple portion of detroit fueled funk that is, blackroom entertainment. yet another presentation of his programming prowess and ability to mold and mend melodies into a sophisticated groove. especially utilizing his signature catchy drums to get the vibe going, then introducing a melodic synth stab before the track takes you away with complex variations of rhythmic lead sounds. abacus may remind listeners of his stellar mad at me ep released last fall on get physical - albeit reformed with a more analog approach. springing tones get the groove rolling before it is taken over by a cabal of sci-fi sounds, at which point a thick, modulated analog bass sound ups the overall energy. the lack of audio imagery is little if none, as the sounds invoke so many moods, feelings and sensations that only a seasoned dj and knowledgeable producer could fabricate such a convincing theme. blackroom entertainment ep again showcases mikaels ability as a formidable contributor to house music

getting massive support from the likes of pete tong, radio slave, luciano and ralph lawson

rhodes accents and analog synth melodies, while a vocal chorus ups the soul ante during the marching strut of who am i, a beautiful example of timeless house music if there ever was one. in futuristic funk, a looped voice incessantly repeats too late now, thereby adding a touch of delirium to the tunes stomping swing, after which the vocal line expands into the chanted pray for brighter days / too late now / lose myself in the future / too late now. warmed by old-school synth flourishes, congas, and rhodes melodies, millers rich and seductive club music makes surrender the only possible proposition and a release so rarely deep and musical, which is therefore not to be missed.

soulful future jazz, produced by waajeed

yore returns with a true dream team split ep, pairing yore label head andy vaz with sistrum manager patrice scott. vaz is up first with a beautiful slice of old-school funk and soul within a deep house formula, >back to square one< that has a whole lot more in common with isaac hayes and james brown than with juan atkins or any other techno icon. accompanied by a wah-wah guitar figure and claps, a bullet-proof bass line leads a nine-minute charge thats quickly bolstered by a slinkily swinging drum groove. creamy synth chords and blazing horns intermittently spill over the pulsating mix and then vanish, leaving space for the rhythm to intensify and the track to grow ever more euphoric (and even, towards its close, a bit acidy). a true mission into both funk and house, which again showcases vazs ultimate diversity as an outstanding producer. scott titled his second sistrum release beyond deep and the title might just as easily apply to the b-side >aztecal< where the detroit producer slathers shimmering stabs and congealing streams over a thudding kick drum and flickering percussive detail. while vazs cut draws inspiration from the timeless traditions of decades past, scotts looks towards the future when its gleaming shuttle lifts off in pursuit of distant galaxies.

waves of human suffering is exactly what the title implies, a non stop assault to the senses decrying the horrors humanity ritualistically bestows upon itself. but amidst the controlled chaos created by benumb leader pete ponitkoff and vulgar pigeons alumni jeff lenormand and john gotelli, if you listen beyond the walls of intense riffing, double time percussion and hardcore ethos, you can clearly hear that agenda of swine optimistically retains hope for future change. the best grinding metal has always been punk as fuck!

mri first came to prominence in 2000 with the release of the ground breaking rhythmogenesis on forcetracks and his acclaimed mille plateaux productions. due to the massive reaction drawn from the contribution on the latest 12, take kare not acid, mri returns back to the resopal imprint with two new tracks to redesign the past and further the future. title track bateau is a banging builder that is reminiscent of the current house flavored tracks but resonates the touch of classiness and depth of mid 90s reduced techno arrangements. decayed bassdrum, pad, chords and a break - distinctly marked with modern hyper percussive tendencies, based in between house and techno soundscapes this a-side is a pure bomb. the flipside ivre by all means reaching the dancefloors of today. cascading rhythms build subtly behind the fuelled drive of bass, and druggy vocals fully defined by mris signature formula. all in all, bateau ivre tunes up in fresh formula towards techy driven reduced microhouse, bring through a soothing and completely refreshing 12that will be sure to please old and new fans alike. ltd. stock

luciano rmx !! in anticipation of open wide, his upcoming debut album, we are proud to present the first taste of dave aju’s mouth-based wizardry with >crazy place<. a deep, extended journey into aju’s vision of slow-burning melodic space disco. the warm vibe, building synth lines, and catchy choruses are guaranteed to please. on the flip, we are blessed with a great remix by luciano, who stretches the track out even further, traveling into the sublime musical territory of his finest work, perfectly complimenting the original. a strong and truly balanced 12 with >future classic< written all over it!

early support finds favour with laurent garnier, claude von stroke, ralph lawson, mark knight and deep dish&#146,s sharam. it&#146,s been a while since we last heard from mike monday &#150, almost two years, to be exact when he delivered smorgasbord, which won numerous accolades and superlatives in the dance press. lauded as album of the month in i-dj, while dj mag called it a lp we just can&#146,t put down, others jump on board and claim it as a future classic. now signed to san francisco&#146,s om records label, the man who never fails to impress, educate and entertain is back. >the 11 11<&#146,(no, we&#146,re not sure what it means, either) is backed with the equally oddball titled &#145,>hello nest<. regardless, it&#146,s another terrific house offering that pairs dubbed-out beats with techno-tinged melodies to create a modern day jackin&#146,sound. the addition of a driving synth-line only helps this swing, shake&#145,n&#146,rattle in all the right places over a dirty-as-hell bassline. anything but what we&#146,ve come to usually expect from the label, the sund is an equally refreshing break from convention for om, and is taken from the upcoming album, songs without words&#146,by monday

the skull returns to kindisch with four impeccably sultry and leftfield dancefloor cuts. >must have back< is silky, chicaning mix of ice-cool male vocals and slick, vacuum-packed percussion that will prove devastating to discerning dancefloors, while >lalalala< is a raw, spaced-out house jam that serves up spry, bouncy congas, wobbly bass and clipped hi-hat patterns with no small amount of dubby echo and delay. >forever ever< is a wonderfully trippy slice of minimal techno, a heady bass and percussion workout haunted by the blue, smoky ghosts of jazz keys. be careful - you may well find yourself hypnotized forever ever.the mood is less abstract but no less intense or inviting for deep, reverb-laden closing track >lovesong<. an insistent kick-drum and mind-bending fx make this prime dancefloor material, but the mood of the track is more complex - wistful, pining, mindful of the past, expectant of the future - a lovesong through and through.

at last the massive the one gets a release split over 2 12inches! a future number 1?

the 3rd release by scott grooves on his natural midi label, this is scotts first ever ep and color vinyl release. all 4 tracks possess a different mood and distinct raw edge, which plays well on this well balanced ep.track 1 dark blu speaks for itself, simply stated and deeply enriched. the relentless melody never lets go of the groove and the groove never lets go the melody. everything in this track harmonizes together perfectly.track 2 dna definitely disturbs the peace with vintage analog synth sounds. the old school sounding vocal sample echoes thruout the track that >detroit needs analog records< take a listen and decide if that echoes true!track 3 >it doesnt all have to be techy< as the title suggest there is know >techyness< here, its all about a deeply stormin groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys and a lovely guitar, yes i said guitar that altogether creates a feelin thats organic but not boring. track 4 decimalquivers in and out with a fm gritty synth stab, complete with minimal drums or as scott calls them >drims< which is the term scott uses for minimal drums. also present is a deep pad sound that brews slowly like an eruption. co-produced by panther, a name you will hear more about in the future

funny a side!! the danish scene has evolved a lot over the last years, with acts like trentemøller, martinez and whomadewho. the new label tartelet records is rising from the horizon of the copenhagen club culture. tartelet records is founded by fredski (the man behind the greatest copenhagen parties ) and tomboy (aka tomas barfod, dj, producer and drummer of whomadewho, with previous releases on turbo, kitsuné , get physical and gomma). the two founders themselves are also behind this first tartelet release, which is a true showcase of what the label stands for: tech-house with multiple flavors like ghetto, funk, disco and a bit world. the a-side ‘do the tartelet’ is a schizophrenic yet effect full combination of sampled horn-madness, hand claps and techno bass. on the flip side ‘cereal’ sounds as if james holden and paul jonson were trying to make minimal house together. the future releases from tartelet promise remixes from world-league remixers (tba) and tracks by danish kleshmer-techno-reggae band analogik do the tartelet
