reissue of this rare italo disco track from 83. probably our last italo disco release since most of it has been bootlegged by now but we really wanted to credit giuliano saglia for this magical release. >firelight< is bouncy 80s synthesizer disco with those trademark italo sounds and vocals (also included the instrumental version). but what should get you really excited is the flemming dalum >firelight< remix. he strips it down to the minimal and builds an amazing dark and intense version that stays true to the original sound but with a modern dancefloor approach.

after his last years hit fruchtalarm/city rush boogie dub on farside records, its time for another herb lf solo joint. sunliner takes you on a trip and has a deep melancholic mood with a perfect catchy piano hook. when the reese bassline drops, sunliner takes one step further and creates big dancefloor pressure. expect a very special moment when you play out this wonderful piece of music in the club. dub is the word in down to the sound?. some cheeba cheeba business, a smokers riddim, delayed stabs and a killer bassline is enough for this dubby deep tune. ring the alarm! one of the most groovin 4 to the floor trax that has seen the light recently is named shake!. with a few dubby dancehall snippets and a slightly metallic sounding synth, herb lf adds live percussions from tim friesenhagen. even the sound of a lighter (!!) is used as a rhythmic element. get your groove on this perfect percussive atmospheric tool. shake it, baby!

karateklub suprises with hugh tracks from jenn, fantastically remixed by rebekah (criminal/uk). with >cheeky<, jenn presents a groovy and much more minimal side then we allready heard on her last ep. suprising and reduced, her sounds looping up and down, embedded in a clonky basedrum structure. the remix, made by rebekah, well known from her releases on criminal records, is just fantastic and completes the ep brilliantly. she desinged a hugh groove and pushed it forward. by adding her ideas she creates an excellent new track. the interface original is specified by stomping and jigging beats, which get intermitted by smooth voices and melodies, before pushing it up again. these girls have it and paint the town red!

alec storey has been making quite a name for himself in techno & electro circles since his debut release on kracktronik back in 2006. renowned for his no-holds-barred live shows (which often incorporate stunning demonstrations of his considerable skills as a drummer), he has also been making considerable progress in the studio, with new equipment and new techniques. the troglodyte ep is a distillation of all these things and more, and although calling it refined might be stretching it a bit (its not called the troglodyte ep for nothing), its certainly fair to say that he has honed his sound into a near-perfect combination of brutal beats, bowel-busting bass, and mind-mangling sound design, all presented at slightly-higher-than-normal tempos, guaranteed to get the pulse racing. for remix duties we called in two heavyweight producers! carl finlow (aka silicon scally) has been turning out immaculate electro, house and techno for over 10 years now, with releases & remixes on such respected labels as mute, warp, playhouse, satamile & scsi-av . here he turns troglodyte into an off-kilter, but driving, electro workout full of twists and turns. kracktronik fave volum doesnt disappoint either. he drops the tempo and increases the spook factor by a few notches, and as always his intricate programming reveals layer after layer of nutritious electronic brain-food.

all good things go by three, brilliant third popnorama release! with his amazing remix for off pop on popn002, he introduces himself impressiv. his style is like made on mars. never before we heard such f*ckin great stuff! with his rough and reduced dirty finch he defies all them lovely melodies and set the point to the biiiiig basedrum. smash the voice and get up! the opposite of the original track comes from johjon, who is allready known by his great remixes for stil vor talent, dirt crew and heiko laux. he makes the >dirty finch< move on smooth minimal house vibes.

the legendary club u60311 in frankfurt has opened up a brand-new hotspot for minimal right in the heart of the city, going by the name of 311. paired with this, an affiliated label - dreielf recordings - has also been launched. the residents michael kohlbecker, one part of the saafi brothers, and frankfurts newcomer peter eilmes are releasing the fruits of their cooperation in their home studio, and putting an already-established scene hit onto vinyl with - tabasco. the original of the record impresses with its anthemic character, which may have been due to the fat bass-line and the striking trumpet. despite its monotony, a real jewel for every record case and just the stuff to get happiness dripping from the club ceiling. the remix by alexi delano, on the other hand, is somewhat deeper and more melodic at the same time, but still contains all the ingredients necessary for a proper shot of tabasco. sonic monogamy or fat kick basses make this remix unique. the dominant trumpet and the scraping percussion of the berliner andre crom make this remix an absolute guarantee of ecstasy. tabasco is hot and burns like hell!

om records is proud to present fred everything s first single from his upcoming artist album out in july. >here i am< features everyone s favorite house vocalist, lisa shaw (naked music / salted music) as well as premiere remixes from shur-i-kahn and fred everything himself. lisa shaw, a close friend of fred, brings forth her calming vocals that lighten the mood in >here i am<. doing shows together everywhere across the globe enabled the two to truly sync their musical talents together. goals for this track were to get a vintage, lush feeling. with the help of tim k (home & garden) arranging the strings, this enticing track sets the stage for an effortless unification of songs to come

songs from the source is a lost and found 1973 recording of the source family. these twelve songs were recorded live in the hollywood hills as a rehearsal for a concert date that spirit of 76 - aka yahowah 13, the savage sons of yahowa, yodship, and firewaterair, now known as children of the sixth root race - had at the whisky. a 1/4 tape copy of the recording was found in chicago in 2006, though no one is really sure how it got there. djin aquarian, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for spirit of 76, recalls being sent on a mission to chicago later in 1973, where he believes he left the tape with an old friend. djin wrote most of the songs in the year before he joined with the source, as part of his solo mystical quest to help enlighten the world before it might annihilate itself, adding, im glad both the album and the world are still here.though this rehearsal wasnt meant to be released at the time, there are probably no other recordings as complete of the band doing these songs. the spirit of 76 had a different sound than the one yahowah 13 made with yahowa. songs from the source has more r n b grooved energy, with splashes of synth and organ, a female vocal chorus and streamlined fusion rhythms backing the uniquely yahowan lyrical populism of songs like godmen and lost dead but hoping. songs from the source is a miraculous missing piece of the sources positive musical movement. the members of yahowah 13 (djin, sunflower on bass, octavius on drums) were joined by family members ahom, aquariana, cinderella, rhythm, vibration, and zoroaster on lead guitar, to create the ecstatic sound of spirit of 76.

the e.p showcases some new sides to james sound and has won widespread support and praise. the title track call & response is a shuffly groover which is impeccably produced and arranged. it will be sure to get the floor grooving and has picked up nothing but positive responses from all who have heard it so far. the second track the trinity is james personal favourite of the moment. it goes tough – very tough – and as the slammin groove builds to the point of explosion, it defuses and rebuilds with controlled power. this is an absolute dancefloor bomb...

hot on the heels of the bestselling second edition in the limited series, the ppf boys dropped off this outstanding third ep in the sample pleasures trilogy!!! as always, they expertly reference classic, though less well known underground gems from the last days of disco to early forays into proto house. heavily influenced by the fertile early 80s period, when european disco and boogie sounds took us in a more electronic direction, and the kind of boundary pushing, energetic, funked up soundtrack ron hardy laid down in the music box, the popular peoples front have established a formidable reputation for making stand out modern club cuts...
