reissue of album from 1975/a satisfying dramatics collection that includes their revised, campy version of me and mrs. jones, which had remained a staple of their live shows. astrology was riding high in the mid 70s, and (i m going by) the stars in your eyes provided fodder for astrological discussions as the guys poo poohed the differences in personality traits associated with the signs. a good balance of fast and slow tunes helps make this album a winner. good things dont come easy and never let you go are two frantic dancers that chug along faster than a speeding locomotive, while trying to get over losing you succeeds in treating losing your lover in a positive, uplifting way. the guys must have been loaded with material to keep this one off a 45. likewise for the aching, painful i cried all the way home, one of tony hesters best compositions, and easily the best ballad on the album.

nice price deal !!! the shuttle sound is boundless, genreless, and fresh. one of ninja tunes hottest new signings of 2009. shuttle has an extensive remix history, under the name etan, with credits including the death set, daedelus, the little ones, mikachu and more. there is a massive blog hype already building and spreading fast, plus the track is going down a storm with djs like sinden and diplo, who are both fans. the b side rotten guts features killer vocals from cadence weapon, and the package is rounded out with a remix courtesy of brightons high rankin, which is like sheer heavy mental wonkiness and grime reworked with spandex. shuttle has played alongside devlin (spank rock), yelle, the field, gui boratto, crystal castles, diplo, dj sega, and classixx.

les schmitz normally collaborates with his brother, producer oliver schmitz. after many releases on fresco, they come to stereo steven with a massive techno track. featuring groovy remix from andrea bertolini, going to be the next summer anthem in ibiza.

legends of the uk house music circuit, faze action deliver a truly outstanding remix by managing to maintain the original mix elements but putting them together in a sequence only faze action know how. they simply add some live funked up percussion and keys to die for - giving you this excellent re rub to compliment the stripped back disco slickness of dannys original mix. put on your dancing shoes, saturday nights are never going to be the same again!

fresh off the release of their debut album, patrick dsp and pauze return to the studio and have provided us with another techno stomper. ball and hoop starts out with a killer intro which is going to be a sure fire starter for a lot of hard techno sets all over the world. this leads into a pounding percussion beast with a throbbing kick and punishing bass line. dont miss this one folks! monocores track starts with a pounding kick and nice crisp hats. the bass line alone is strong enough to shake the foundation of your house, so make sure you provide your audience with a construction hat before they decide to take on these beats!glenn wilson has been secretly hiding in his studio producing the powerful techno that he is known for. glenns furious signature kick and bass joins up with an incredible synth riff that will be dancing in your mind for a long time to come. make sure you grab this one up quick because its going to be a hot one!

after the resounding success of lunarjam001 the leeds based lunar cadets ticker & cristoidz return with some seriously out there, and rare as roast beef edits for your late night perusal. their first release flirted and got frisky with hott city, loveride and david byrne and put them through the lunar jam cosmic mixer. they have forsaken such formalities with this release though, and have unearthed four tracks from even deeper and darker corners of their collections, and given them a serious going over. already garnering much support from such balearic luminaries as prins thomas & moonboots as always, limited to initial press only polysleeve and photocopied inlay!

includes brand new mix by justin vandervolgen!!

so this is how it sounds when osama is behind the decks somewhere in the afghan mountains... brilliant! too bad there are no women or booze allowed, or we d all be there. hot on the heels of the great mike burns release the rubber room guys are back with a new devil. taliban discotheque is a superb track, with a chorus you re not likely to forget after you heard it once. incredibly strong bassline, great percussion, thats all a good track needs! on the other side tonights the night is indeed a soundtrack for the night, this is going deep! essential for all you heads out there!

olmeto’s first release of 2009 takes the flamenco bull by the horns and drops a track of such spanish influence, you’ll think you’re at las ventas! señor bushwackas ‘dromederie’ neatly entangles beautifully mournful spanish guitars, passionate feet stomping flamenco dancers with modern glitches to create a seriously ferocious tune with an underlying feeling of treachery. the percussive elements embroiled in the final three minutes (specially edited as a dj tool for the creative amongst you) are so unique, the reaction evoked on any primed and ready dancefloor has to be seen to be believed…it’s a tune you’re not going to forget in a hurry! side two, ‘the blues’ takes an altogether slower, more winding approach but is sure to draw you in from the off. whilst we are reminded ‘this is the blues’, rising melodies and catchy loops reminiscent of grooving disco transport you to a sleazy den of dance iniquity. marking the twentieth release on layo & bushwacka’s olmeto imprint, ‘dromederie’ & ‘the blues’ are a stunning representation of the forward thinking dance music this label has to offer. not to be ignored.

shock n chick father come back again with a deep techno track. la luna, dedicated to his resident club, is a strong floorkiller. featuring the remix of the evil amigos, with a special tool version, exactly what you need for let the people going crazy.

this hot new e.p. for dessous introduces two new artists to its roster, in the form of well known and highly respected producer & dj ripperton, who runs the successful perspectiv label, alongside co-owner and recording artist sam k. this mixed and exciting release is headed off by the deeply spaced and simply hypnotic ‚eze‘, a straight collaboration between ripperton and sam k. its bouncing, deep techno pump underpins the track and keeps the pressure constant, while a wonderful phasing synth motif is explored and unfurled as the journey continues. beautiful atmospheric modern dance music! next sam k takes the reigns alone as he introduces the slower, fantastic world of ‚desperate housetrack‘. the title might be a clue to where the melody takes its inspiration, but this tough little groover has more than one surprise up its sleeve, showing off sam‘s love for slow burning, thoroughly explored arrangements. ‚slipstream‘ is ripperton‘s own unique solo voyage through contemporary acid house. its a stripped, low-riding jam that harks back messages from days of old but still had that fresh 21st century sound going on. a great dj tool and indeed a bold statement about the merits of keeping it deep!

question “whatcha gonna do?”, answer, “buy this, love it, marry it, play it and destroy dancefloors.” right now oliver $ is one of the most exciting dj’s / producers coming out of berlin. his unique take on house has gained mass support and regular play from the likes of luciano, ricardo vilalobos, claude vonstroke and winston churchill. “whatcha gonna do?” draws elements from the hyphy sound in that upon hearing the track the listener is forced to dance in an overstated, fast paced, and ridiculous manner which makes for a good party especially when it’s a club full of ravers going mental. oliver’s numerous productions are setting dancefloors alight across the globe and having recently remixed artists such as swag, justin martin, jacob london and filthy dukes on labels as diverse as polydor, greco roman and rekids, oliver $ is certainly the man to watch right now. whether you’re a dj, house head, lord, lady, tramp or ghost your going to dig this release, so now you know whatcha gonna and gotta do.

after several months of underground pressure the orbital classic kinetic by golden girls (paul & phil hartnoll along with mike hazell) is finally getting a full release. one of the most ecstatic rave stabs ever is at the heart of this record and has now been reworked for 09 dancefloors by floorplay music - the label run by hot brighton production duo prok & fitch. the story began a year ago with prok & fitchs golden shower remix. instead of going down the bootleg or cover route they paid their dues and licensed the original track for their new label floorplay and set about getting some hot names to remix it. top of the pile is atfc who takes the original and gives it a tough house makeover. this man has been responsible for a few classic records of his own over the years so this combination is unstoppable. with the original orbital mix included this is an all time classic tastefully revisited.

played by: ricardo villalobos, sebo k, brothers vibe, loco dice, dj deep (deeply rooted), karotte, nick curly and more... !!after the last fantastic release on fumalab we now make a stop in southern america – to be precise: in santiago de chile. there is a lot going on in chiles electronic music scene and dj felipe valenzuela is one of the agitators of the night in santiago de chile with one foot in latin america and the other one in the old continent. he is a fresh, young, and talented producer. we will hear a lot from him in the future … he took piano lessons for a long time and his first producer steps started in 1995. felipe is a dj since 2002. he organized small underground parties in santiago de chile shortly after he travelled to europe, especially spain. from this experience, great alliances have been created with bookings and excellent agencies. >alicante< is a spherical and hypnotic track which takes you on a journey through chile. there are spoken words in combination with a dreamy chorus and typical sounds from latin america. alicante evolved from a team work as rockit-f. this is felipe valenzuela together with fernanda diaz. >dive< is a percussive, mental track with sound snatches ranked together with a very special feeling. its a long trip – call it a lesson into rhythm and drums. the music kicks you discreet the whole time. >dive< emerged from collaborating with felipe venegas. hes also known from releases on immigrant

compared by adam beyer, truesoul is the ying to the yang of the techno tastemakers better known drumcode label. equally well respected, equally forward thinking, both labels are very much at the forefront of what is going on in electronic music. operating on a broad remit and refusing to be restricted by genre boundaries, truesoul offers an oasis for the great and good of techno where they can experiment with elements of electronica, downtempo, house and minimal. having hosted the work of cari lekebusch, joel mull, nihad tule, par grindvik, speedy j and beyer himself, the mantel is now passed to dustin zahn. best known for his ever reliable enemy records imprint, zahn is one of the most in-demand producer / djs on the techno circuit with his releases for the likes of drumcode, droid and audio assault staple choices for many

dj dealer & lisa millett are on fire!!! the third single from dj dealers highly acclaimed album joyride is a gospel tinged vocal featuring londons finest, lisa millett. the pair loved this project so much that they recorded two separate lead vocals for the song. the main mix and the tribute mix are the fruits of these labors. nycs jon cutler delivers some outstanding peak hour remixes, and up and coming producer/remixer, uncle milty, drops some serious heat. uncle milty is a resident at chicagos legendary night boom boom room - this party has been going strong for over 17 years and now milty is flexing his mighty studio muscles. this is just the first of many outstanding things you will be hearing from uncle milty!

lets remixer speak! >it was great to be asked to do this. originally, i wanted to do something really quirky and funky with the strange vocal in human bond, one of my favorite old tracks. i tried a few times but i couldnt really get a vibe going in the funk realm. so i listened to the original over and over again and then the lightbulb turned on. i realized that the original was a monster rave track, like what you would hear in a warehouse in detroit in the 90s. so i threw out my original idea and went crazy with a huge techno builder, something to hype a big rave just like the original. maybe this doesnt sound exactly like what i usually do but that was the fun of making it< claude vonstroke. aa: >bounce your body to the box was one of the first kms records that i owned and it was all about the mike >hitman< wilson mix and force field on the b side. the production on the original was huge. the 909 groove just pounded everything... when that came out there was nothing that came close to it. so it was an honor and a challenge to mix it myself. first came the futurist bounce mix... not released on vinyl, anmerkung, ... which is more of a cover version than a remix. i had a lot of fun with this one but it definitely has a signature that steps away from the original. so i had to take a run at it one more time to pay a proper homage to the original with the flashback mix< mike shannon...

the pump ep is a typically genre-bending mixture of pumping, groovy house tracks, exploring the many sides of this highly regardedproducers fruitful repertoire. lead track the pump is a vivacious number that takes a clean, modern house aesthetic as a base and later infuses it with a dirtier, earlier morning vibe, with phoniques playful use of the resplendent chord stabs. its a slow burner indeed, and yet another example of his effortless arrangement talents. fancying a spot of fresh air and a trip into the audio countryside, bike ride is an even more playful journey into the kooky electronic world of phoniques studio outings. solid drums and warm sub bass provide the energy for all manner of pops and tweaks to unfold. its another deeper track but be warned it still has the power to lift a crowd up onto its tip-toes. going down more of a techno route, tooltime completes the package and breaks out the big guns for some serious heads down dancefloor ignition. urgent and tight late night action, not for the faint of heart, the tracks title is too modest - it should really read ‚ peak time

complot records is proud to present hanssens debut ep! with complot09 we finally get to taste delicious music from hanssen aka bob hansen (half of jacob london). we also have an exciting remix from complot co-founder dafluke. >velvet deer decals< possesses a groove that will keep you going on and on and on... hanssens skillful use of deep filtered harmonies will take you back to that good old late 90s house vibe. the beats and stabs are visceral, dense and powerful with filtered vocal cuts that sprinkle the track with sweetness. on the b side, >wtfstep< brings the funk to your doorstep! we are talking very bouncy and punchy dancefloor goodness with a contagiously dark bassline ... ..real party music! finally, theres no question dafluke expanded on his bag of tricks for his remix of >velvet deer decals<. this dissonant loopy groove is laced with other-worldly sound fx to shock and excite your ears... with a beat like a taser jolt to your feet!ken ishii : wow, interesting and fresh music here! b1 and b2 rock. / pheek : charted the dafluke remix, huge support! / mannel : i cant find the words, its perfect! the wftstep is my favorit! thanks! all the best! / tom baker : yeah loving the dafluke remix and party vibe in wftstep! nice one ! mika kalio (opossum / komplex audio)deep, dark, dubby, delcious..will be played in the next opossum radio show - and in the discotheque ass well ...

scaring us all the way from sofia, bulgeria spatula city is proud to present to you the technologically advanced technique of the one like the kink. snapping off his first spatula city release with three dancefloor scorchers, this record is not to be missed. jigga is just a straight up bassline balancing act that just drives. on dat funk and check he collaborates with eclectic vocal stylings of austin, txs j.a.m.o.n. both tunes are jump up flex on the floor devastators. kinks techy vibe and robotlike control over j.a.m.o.n.s vocals creates a sound unlike any other artist in the scene. his tech savvy jack infused style cannot be compared to. just when you think one of these tunes is going off the deep end, it turns around and jacks you right in the face! and...just for funks we had kink add two accapella tools which are super easy to mix and sound great over any jackin beats.

the diva of dance music is back in full force! the legendary barbara tucker teams up with masterful ibizan dj/producer pepe tuccillo to bring us a brand new tune with a rump-shakin damn good set of remixes. the superb nyc producer/ dj alix alvarezs deep, dark & pumpin f1 series vox mix is only complimented further by going deeper into the disco depths of ibizan producer d. figuerettas dub. japanese tech producer hideo kobayashi puts forth a funkier dancefloor stomper remix which gets tougher once you get into his dub. already being championed in the uk as well as right here in nyc at louie vega & kevin hedges roots party, >one desire< is a simple straight up anthem easily bound for >most precious love< glory.

fusing some weird italo-ish vibes together with some unmistakenly drexciyan influences this is a pretty unique release on rh! concepts often bring interesting results and this is no exception.. i think its going to be a real >love it or hate it< record. yurotrago take the track somewhere completely different, stretching it out on a different kind of vision. awesome deep and moody action for the floor. the packaging is awesome for this one

sometime chicken lips collaborator and full time disco don stevie kotey keeps the momentum going on his longstanding and ever consistent imprint by going slightly off piste with the latest bearfunk 12inch. for my friends is the work of lusty zanzibar aka alex cordiner, cabaret voltaire fan and former holistic artist, and we re struggling to describe it effectively to be honest. its a simple concoction of fluttery synth riffs and fat bottom end, but has the sort of quirky melody that you just dont expect to hear in a noo disco record, or a house record for that matter. it is, however totally infectious, and destined to be one of bearfunks biggest of the year we reckon. solid mixes come from kotey and lusty himself, and all are dominated by the riff, as will your brain be after listening to this package a few times. beginning of the night, end of the night, all night, all aboard the wonky disco train to zanzibar

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. were gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainlly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut. just the way we like it...for int005 we bring you a slow house chugger in the form of break the barriers, done by malaysian born and berlin based frankie flowerz. i have to say, its not by choice i decided to put this track out but a calling... upon hearing this track in frankies myspace player i knew i had to put this out over 12 inches in full scope... i spent some time trying to come up with the perfect match for remix duties and i think weve succeeded with the choice of man of the moment(and soon to be legendary)john daly of galway who turns in a slightly faster, darker and a bit dubbier affair.

hardcore 4 track bizz!! some crazy cool sampling going on here!!

this time metamorphic recordings is in full on boundary pushing mode with a new sound from dan curtin. techno always has been and always will be about taking risks and going where no one has gone before and this ep, facts is right there. modern techno that will work for djs playing the gamut of techno, tech house, house, minimal and more. vocalist jason byers from cleveland based rock band disengage worked side by side with curtin to add a powerful vocal touch to the intense musical journey presented here. to all you djs working hard to keep it real, to move forward, to advance our scene, and to have a voice of your own, this one is made for you!
