now, a year after he celebrated the success of his lp good morning midnight, niko schwind ups the heat on stil vor talent with the versatile we are the future ep that showcases a specatacular sonic progression while remaining true to what niko does best: melodic house music. on all i want, niko lures you into a deep abyss aided by a straight groove and rapid vocal stutters until a swampy bassline, subtle piano melodies and a promiscuous female voice swallow you to the point of no return. beautifully melancholic, yet floorfriendly, this a1 is bound to leave its mark on international dance floors!

second part of four in the imbroglios series sees modern sound alchemist pepe bradock emerge from his studio with another outerwordly, mind-bending mixture of tricky, swinging beats, collages of rich, imaginative sound snippets from every corner of the musical spectrum and a phletora of exotic, cheeping noises and sounds. its a miracle how pepe keeps pushing the envelope with every new precious release yet is instantly recognizable - on of the true innovators in any style of music today and another cornerstone of every good record collection that will still sound good in decades. play super loud!

when discussing producers with consistently good outputs, few compare with jan driver. just pulled out his debutalbum amatilda last year, jan driver again dished out an extra tasty and promising morsel: this one-shot named peaker comes with a gigantic brightness in sound and is not less than a slammy hand-clapping celebratory basher. the and heavy subbasses are literally all over the place. jan driver signatures for sure! it has the exact fair amount of tension a track needs to sound excited and to infect your eardrum. on the flip side, action flowers rework pad the track with a golden summerdress, adding a magnificent arpeggio sequence so perfectly complementary to the original sound, its shimmering all the way to the solar system.peaker is proven to be one of our favourite summer releases in 2012 thus far, with its take on a slower beat and more of a late night come-down vibe apparent. you know that feeling when you hear that perfect song for the first time? well, it just happened. twice. weve got goosebumps. were feverish. were sweaty.time for the summer to come. now we impatiently wait. were just a little excited, you know?

2016 repress! beatamines & david jach finally arrived at their homebase mangue records after a long roadtrip with several releases on keno records, damm records or deich. the duo is currently on a good buzz with their successful single how never – so its time for a hot follow-up tune with remixes coming from einmusik (jittery heritage, italic,einmusika), purple disco machine (ipoly music, gris musique) and einsauszwei (grain audio).

michigan resident d marc cantu serves up his next album on the ever-excellent mos recordings on june 11th 2012. though essentially a house and techno producer, american cantu often goes further than most, calling on a world of influences to ensure his jacking productions are as far away from standard as possible, yet still do damage on the right dancefloors as have previous eps on this label, nation and crème organization.

hypnotic stripped sci-fi techno tracks proving there is unknown life to be seen through the looking glass. sci-fi techno tracks that tell a story. the ?through the looking glass? inspiration for the artist is the concept of the examination of the relationship between the observer and the tools used for the observation. the result is probably some of the sickest techno tracks we ve heard in a while! going somewhere between sahko and good old minimal detroit techno from mills and hood.

we have had a good run of 12 inches this year starting off with todd terjes >inspector norse< followed by bjørn torske (remixed by dj harvey and todd terje), lindstrøm (remixed by todd rundgren) and idjut boys great >one for kenny<. and now we continue with a great summer tune and one of our favorite tracks of the year, mungolian jetsets brand new >smells like gasoline<. already a todd terje favorite, the track will be featured on mungolian jetsets upcoming album >mungodelics< due 20th of august (todd terje has also edited the cd version of the album). on the b side we have 2 remixes of >we are the shining< from last years >schlungs< album by dan lissvik of studio fame as well as skatebaard.

2016 repress.... two stalwarts of amsterdams techno & house underground scene. julien chaptal and david labeij, decided to link arms at the beginning of 2012 with the creation of their vinyl only label, mfd.aiming to bring their blend of electronica back to a stripped-down, powerful, and hypnotic groove. mfds back-to-basics approach was born out of the infallible conviction that dance music in its purest form can effectively reduce ones insides to a bundle of raw nerves, and induce a state of pure bliss. wether it be hypnotic, gritty or intense electronic music, the label focuses on explicit quality, keeping egos in check, and never allowing them to get in the way of a good time.

if you have even got a passing interest in house music, there is very little chance that frankie knuckles name has escaped you. starting off as a clubber in the new york disco scene—his first job was to spike the punch at nicky sianos now legendary the gallery gatherings—frankie soaked up the knowledge passed down to him from his good friend larry levan, and managed to secure a residency alongside the paradise garage luminary at the citys continental baths.

following last years acclaimed curse of soft rocks album, were invited to revisit said masterpiece from an alternative entry — a robust compilation of remixes. each track is wildly re-contextualized leaving us with a beautifully obtuse yet complimentary rendering. personnel employed vary in style and technique drastically, but such is the ethos of soft rocks, and furthermore the esp institute. at the end of the day, we implore you to shut up and listen. on this 12inch (the second of 3 surrounding the revenge of soft rocks remix album) esp mainstays cos/mes deliver a deep and sensual yet sinister take on little lights, and side b reveals an upbeat dubbed out version of wicker man by zurichs own lexx (running back, permanent vacation, leng) good lord this is quite a piece of wax!

full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.

praterei might not be the most prolific of labels, but the quality is always way above the quantity. the fourth release on the viennese imprint comes from local boys done good the new tower generation, with a heady two track offering that fits right in with the labels ethos of focusing on the essence of house. the amusing titled >horny goat weed< is a perm twisting delight, with the grainy string sample remoulded to align with the loose jacking rhythms and rave indebted keys. >trembolon< finds the new tower generation in an altogether mellower mood, building with poise from its sonorous beginnings to a glorious mid point crescendo of rising synth lines.

nicolas audren aka dj steaw is a dj / producer based in rennes (france). his productions reflect his inspiration for deep house, funk, afro and especially the raw old school elements in house music. this release takes us back to the classic house sound somewhere in between kerri chandler & mood ii swing and has been a secret weapon of ours for some time now. from the funk & organ groove in >i want< to the lush chords and big piano breakdown in >sky hunt<. house dancers and fanatics of good vibes be aware! essential is the right word for the white journey ep.
