not many single releases can be labelled as events, especially not in the ever homogenised techno world, but the first single from model 500 in eleven years, and the first recorded by the new band line up is most definitely an event.
its only fitting that this single is released on r&s records, whose relationship with the man widely acknowledged as the originator of detroit techno goes back 17 years and who released the last model 500 album back in 1999.

part 3 in the voyeurhythm series! retro futuristic house tracks by ben sun and monte carlo interchange. ben delivers a great track that builds around a sweet frankie knuckles kind of bassline and sexy ny proto house percussion, topped with lush piano and vocal samples 1992 rippin old disco records style. heavy hitter! flip side is a spaced out slomo cosmic house jam with a big bass line which goes between a classic 90s carl craig and a late 80s chicago house bassline ... sweeet! another cool release from these kind australian folks!

following his remix of marco resmanns >i will love< feat. mz sunday luv we are now proud to bring you emerson todds first release on upon you. born in new zealand but living in australia his various releases on cocoon, get physical, dirty bird und modular made us love him and now hes bringing the goldrush to us. not only because his tracks are always stable investments in the tech-house area but also because the title of the a1 track eureka goes back to the days of the australian goldrush. but the other side of the coin isnt made of cheap tin either. counter point keeps on digging on b1 looking for the buried acoustic treasure and vertigo shimmers mystically on b1. if you listen indepth to eureka and counter point you will find some great vocals by mey.

crocosmia x sees dana ruh engaging with the sound of house. ramaria flava initiates a desperate groovy beat with clear and energetic vocals that open us out into peaktime. the track was made for us to dance! opuntia the bloomy intro of this ep comes with the voice of the artist yorba. calm and serene she tells us about her passion for rythm and sound while cumulatively the floor of funky house beats expands. the continuiation we find on the b-side is deep, dubby and clear. the beat wriggles around the hookline and here we have the track del sur. the sound of an organ goes ahead with different voices.

huge bomb alert! bob goes ragga/hiphop with his new single >rock this party<. this track contains an extrapolation of the classic record >gonna make you sweat< (by c&c music factory). on the mike dollar man & big ali. lead vocals: naomi goulbourne.

this is big!

new label from dublin club promoter conor lynch. conor has been djing and promoting the pogo night for a number of years now, and has a very diverse music policy, with the underlying ethos of anything goes, as long as it is quality. guests have ranged from theo parrish, b12, carl craig, optimo through to the ting tings. the aim is to transfer the ethos from the vibrant club onto vinyl. this is certainly not the reason that we would consider taking on a label for distribution, but the fact that this release from dublin real techno producers tr-one, is as beautiful a slice of deep detroit styled techno as your likely to hear his side of the motor city, certainly is.

incl collection cd with the most popular ostwind tracks and remixes from marc depulse releases. also maxi cd only track included! back in zantiago is a live recorded ep, based on marcs current live-act with that he is touring starting in december 2009. using the parts of his past ostwind a1-tracks from 2007 (ex) and 2009 (from zantiago to zaire), marc goes the way straight back to his own tech roots, back to zantiago. big with monika kruse, stephan bodzin, marco bailey, webbha, electric rescue, maxime dangles

al core goes large with this massive double 12 inch for psychik genocide!

for the 50th release creme goes back to its italo roots to release these two bombs. ofcourse the rotting corpse of italo has been desecrated endlessly over the last few years by predatory hipsters to gain scenepoints, but that doesnt mean there isnt still some joy to be found in the oversatured tearjerking cotton candy sound of true mediteranean peacockery. so it is with some smug gratification that we present to you gino felino. pure, uncut and real to the bone italo - definitely too late for the trend, but perhaps coming soon to an ipad near you. listen and learn, cause none of you clowns roll like the west coast rolls! comes in a ultra neat package!

for release number 5 well rounded goes deep with the debut release from donga & blake.
label owner donga met blake when both djd at brightons forward thinking drum n bass night carbon spinning similar shades of the deeper end of dubstep. this lead to the idea of hooking up in the studio, and whilst initial experiments at 140bpm were promising, it wasnt until they decided to lower the tempos to housier speeds that their sound clicked into place. this sound is a balanced fusion of soulful house, deep textured techno and rhythms absorbed from garage, funky and broken beat. these 3 immaculate tracks have a simple appeal but also contain many layered sonic details for the closer listener.

incl markus fix remix !! played by mihalis safras, shlomi aber, arnaud le texier, dubnitzky, monoroom, anthony collins, nico lahs, mirco violi, sasch bbc & caspar...

in the world of factory presets, default settings and copy-paste ethics, there are few artists that actually care to make a difference. and -who told you that?-, 29th release on warsaw recognition label, is certainly a voice to be heard. the title track is another subtle narrative from label boss jacek sienkiewicz. eerie chord and a solid, damp beat from the start are underpinned by sherds of dialogue - snippets of words and laughter keep coming back in the mix, providing some sort of uneasy commentary towards todays minimal house formula. but at some point the voices disappear - and then the tracks gently goes somewhere outside the boundaries of todays club music, somewhere otherworldly. this shift, albeit amazingly subtle, is a leap towards music free of any defined context, far beyond dancefloor and definitely original. if this sneak peak into the possible futures of manmachine induced visions is too much to handle, there is still the b-side of this release. two tracks here - both clocking around mere 5 minutes - are prime exercises in compact, clever, tight and efficient club tools. uplifting -cobalt drive- is bound to to be quoted and reworked into many forms of a late-night burner. patefon, on the other hand, is a peak-time stormer with its stuttering chords and moody samples, supposedly picked from some vintage shellac discs

>testify< is the second single taken from boohgaloo zoos stunning self-titled debut album. u-gene goes all out on the vocals while the bassline and synth stabs are clearly in the business of tearing roofs off suckers. heavy 21st century funk! the remixes make sure that those who like to shake their behinds to something more up-tempo get with the program as well - soulphiction goes to work on the track not once but twice in a full-on boogie mix and one that is more on the minimal side, while hot chips joe goddard takes it to very late night club territories.

rotterdams finest house label comes with some amazing modern club jackers! under & soares deliver an epic house track called arabisch of 8.3 minutes that goes on and on and keeps the crowd focussed for every single beat. and hypnotic is also the word for the vivanco remix! more focus on percussion and a warmer groove, deep layers of sounds and samples of chanting vocals turn this into a peak time monster that leaves no one standing with their back against the wall! big with the reboot s & villalobos s. dont sleep!

fans of beyond the wizard sleeve, a mountain of one.. will get straight into the sound of double drop label – psychedelic, cosmic rock with chunky beats by luca c & brigante. a side – ‘lucio’ starts off with laid back guitar and strong hand clap, this funky groove goes behind the main melody line that make the impression of sort of cosmic / psyche rock feeling. side b ‘faber’ : light kick, pleasant catchy codes, latin male vocal with bug pipe (?) sound – imagine the balearic classic of ‘stop bajon’ by tullo de piscopo with twisted modern feeling…..

20th release with music from old and new friends. bjak (eargasmic records) and julio bishop (realdeep recordings) are opening the fire with their >fashion (bc deeper luv mix)<, a late night percussive track to wake up the floor if it gets sleepy. the a2 is for ernie (minuendo recordings) and its called the alcoholics where mixes indian prayers and spiritual chords ... but make no mistakes, its just the effect of the alcohol. in the b side kez ym continues his race to be one of the best producers coming from japan lately. his track pebbles is cool a follow up to his previous releases on yore records. ordell (minuendo recordings) goes black and soulful on the blackholics.

kenneth bager drops a cool, modern dub house remix of his 80s rave hit >kaos< (kenneth bager was/is dr. baker). a killer track reworked for todays dancefloors. b/w a dope dub reggae goes to outer space remix from labelmate dj disse of >sound of swing<. stamped 12 inch in a music for dreams sleeve.

first on decks.de !! and the oscar goes to ... vinylkid! plattenbau goes house. enjoy the 9th release from pbm with the great sound of 3 oscars. oscar barila from spain, oscar from lordag and one collaboration from oscar sala. enjoy!

a1 – the price of the beat: balearic funky percussion beats, dubbed out vocal, mellow chorus hook – chilled taste.
a2 – they dont tell the truth: starts off with killer percussion then goes into soul territory, raw groove business.
b1 – we love the theme: serious groove with beautiful strings arrangement comes with beautiful male & female vocal structure…

here comes edwards follow-up ep. this time he goes a slightly deeper and more direct. it might be the purest music we ve ever heard from the berlin-based producer. all the crazy clubgigs are manifested into hi music now. of course still with the classical edward style somewhere between dark minimal and trancy deephouse aesthetics. >bush of crows< is somewhat of a siginature edward track. but a very rough one this time. with a comfortable paranoia, this track unfolds itself into a little peak time extravaganza. on the flip, he cools everything down with a warm house tune called >the ghetto< and he adds a certain >blockparty romantic< to it... b2. is once again one of those more minimal edward tracks were he masters to be on point with just the core essence o sounds. edward remains a real romantic for sure...

side a) zone feat. robert lee – soul desires. summery slow mo disco, soulful beatdown. raw bass driving feel good track brings sunshine at your doorstep.
side b) time has been now. ltj … the longstanding producer from irma goes funky beatdown stylee, hypnotic, dubby vocal, whispering … as minimal as detroit production thought it still has the edge of italian recipe!

if it says trouble on it, you know that its going to be intense inside. marcus meinhardt has the bow strings pulled tight and is aiming for the techno heart of the dance floor with his latest release for upon you on a1. the arrow subtly touches the souls of the crowd, making eros faint with jealousy in front of the dj booth. the b sides restart a track form deep within the techno-boiler goes in the same hypnotic direction, to a place where the nights haze rises above the heads into the sky and is carried by exalted hands

first on decks.de !! founded in 2009, time has come for the 1st release, >plusminus1<. whereas berlin dj sid wrote a track for the a-side, both, rohrer & siegel from potsdam, have their own track on the b-side. b2 >deepdownover<, created by alexander siegel, is a piece of art that goes back and forth, unifies high and low. his track can be said to cause emotional ups and downs. if the year had four musical seasons, >deepdownover< could be one of them. b1 >dr. pepper<, wolfgang rohrers track, a creative tool for the dancefloor, is deep and funky and has a bassline to tear down walls. with its groove, >plusminus 1< on the a-side is in the position to set fairly everything in motion. reduced to the essential

the droids beamed down to planet earth in the year 1978. yves hayat aka droids, was a young label manager at the seminal french disco label barclay in the seventies. >star peace<, originally released in 1979 is his concept to the classic sci fi movie >star wars< out that year. featuring the french space synth classic >(do you have) the force<, in both parts, this lp goes from strength to strength with spaced out lullabys >inner space< & >tchough fou<, before kicking back into the groove with >be happy< an assault to the senses with its manic synth lines running riot over heavy funk overtones. the flip kicks off with >shanti dance< parts 1 & 2, sleezy robot-funk work outs that are inter-joined to make a 6 minute continually evolving piece of music. the closing eight-and-a-half- minute >renaissance de l amour< is a tour de force of cinematic synthscapes, bleeps, bloops and world rhythms, before dropping in the drums 6 minutes in to ignite any dancefloor. this is light years ahead of its time.

cr2 goes underground for the 3rd time, featuring tracks by tapesh (ripping off g-man), hauswerks, m.in & david keno ft. meggy and ramiro lopez.

huge package with 2 different takes on koen groenevelds bigroom smasher >fly by wire< - luetzenkirchen delivers the munich techno style he is best known for while umek goes trademark pounding techno.
support: 2000 and one, joris voorn, umek, tocadisco, nick warren ...

this debut lp by innergaze is chock full of rugged hand played analog synths lines, primitive drum machines, haunting vocals, and psychic jewelry. call it synthwave, call it punk, call it metaphysical body music or at this juncture whatever one sees fit, but this duos music goes beyond naming names for the sake of it. from the freaky, unrelenting opener >no shame< to the chris & cosey-esque >la la la<, this record creates many aural worlds to inhabit and explore. the title track >we are strange loops< bubbles at a slow, hazy drug induced bpm, while >illusions<, with its distorted almost guitar-like synth lines and stripped down 808 programming, brings things right back to the dance floor. the ideas and feelings executed here are a direct outpouring of what happens when the machines are turned on, played and recorded.

fourth hideout release from the man himself, luca bacchetti. following his recent release on ovum and the successful remix on be as one, luca is back once more with an ep and two tracks ready to be the centre of attention on this summers dance floors. luca has got us used to surprises, and his vision of music without rules where everything goes - the only common denominators are his trademark sound, his touch, and his feel. nothing to take for granted here as he describes two emotional states at opposite ends of the spectrum: the sunny brightness of endless summer and the dark introspective world of what your soul sings ... endless summer is also his first solo effort on hideout, after the west side story ep collaboration with his label co-owner davide squillace

claremont 56 goes back to its balearic roots with a 12 inch that fills you with wonderful summertime feelings. >mudd & pollard - vincent< is a lush rhodes driven groover with a bass that sounds like its been played bernard edwards of chic fame. on top of that is a multitude of analog synths that bathe this beauty in warmth & loveliness. mark e continues his rise to the king of all things midtempo with one of his best remixes to date. what a great way to kick off the summer...

royal oak with futuristic house sounds from one of hollands longest running house producers gerd. some gorgeous warm rhodes driven tracks with interstellar melodies. two tracks that sound like a stream of fresh air. friendly fire has an incredible drive with its warm rhodes chords and a deep sub bass. unique track that gives the traditional house ingredients a twist. vibration on the flip (which is actually a studio jam with the friendly fire parts) goes in a slightly slower house pace and is combines bleepy melodies with a deep powerful drive that reveals its nature once played out loud.

and the beat goes on as flapjack records 7th vinyl release beats the prohibition laws and is distributed to gin joints around the globe. this big whiskey is brought to you by uk of age and already heavy drinkers jackin box. after many hangovers and oak barrel mishaps, the duo concocted the >licker license ep< which hits hard in the chest and burns all the way down.

the hot utensil imprint drops more bombs with this heavy electronic house jazzer from rithma. very similar to his >nobodys sleeping< on om, >we rock n roll< features catchy vocals and some jazzy instrumentation. meanwhile seattles jacob london tear it up with a wacked-out cut-up remix that just goes way over the top, and justin martin and sammy d throw somemore buzzing bleepy flavor in the mix with their dub.

deacon is the salvador dali of electro... a refreshing example of someone rewriting rules of music as he goes along the guardian by now youll know baltimores dan deacon. dubbed >oddball< by many, >inspired< by more hes one guy treading many thin lines - confidently straddling between nutjob and genius, downright brilliant and insanely mind-bending, and with a live show from another world inducing more audience participation than a seriously skewed pantomime. the label amazing sounds has brought together kindred spirits hudson mohawke, allez-allez and luke abbott to create a rich and varied ep which mirrors dan deacons rich and varied music. this is only the second release on amazing sounds, the first being a 12inch of remixes from the krautrock classic harmonia & eno 76 album tracks & traces (with remixes from shackleton and appleblim & komonazmuk). this next vinyl release is a one time only pressing of 500 copies
