welcome reissue of this super-rare 1978 disco classic from greek singing superstar demis roussos. the extended mix of l.o.v.e. got a hold of me featured on this highly-collectable canadian 12 inch pressing from mercury was a massive favourite of david mancusos at his legendary loft parties and understandably so. a tight percussive groove topped with beautiful swirling strings and the big mans soaring sexy vocals, this special long version provides ten minutes of blissful dubbed-out disco heaven which still rocks dancefloors today for any dj lucky enough to have a copy. the flip is also rather good, with i just live, a very useful funky workout with another positive message that includes some fantastic percussion and great harmonica action. top class!

>bite sized beats vol. 3< celebrates the return of the flapjack master chef and spatula maker, frankie j. sometimes it feels good to crawl out from behind the curtain, fart, do a lap around the room giving it a good crop dusting, and then blame it on poor ventilation. so that just about sums up this fabulous new single from frankie j. >gonna give it to ya< will definitely clear a room and move them straight to the dance floor with its awesomely odoriferous bass line and tantalizing vocal workout. this is one for both cheeks and makes for all the right vibrations.

leif has been good enough to grace us with a bumper four track e.p. featuring a tingling special guest vocal from welsh songstress donna lea, whose voice resonates through your chest on title track, >so long<. sticking with the land of daffodils & dragons, a chance meeting at freerotation festival spawned an instant remix request. german groovecat move d on hearing >so long< immediately saw an opportunity to put his stamp on the record. the result is a low-slung roller whose heart remains firmly rooted to the floor. joining it on the a is murmuring bass heavy >tell you something<, while on the flip, >bide the time< pays testament to the early shuffling nyc garage sound

more beatdown disco badassery from camp sleaze, courtesy of melbournes francis inferno orchestra (fio), whose profile is skyrocketing after a string of stellar releases on dikso, wolf music and under the shade. unsurprisingly, >the night he came home<, his debut ep on sleazy beats recordings, is a right clusterbomb of a record. with rush back and this fire is real, fio showcases just how good he is at capturing the sound of 80s disco (crappy vocals and tom drums, what’s not to love?) and transforming it into infectious, midtempo dancefloor fodder while keeping things deep, down and dirty. lovers on the flip is a tasty dreamy chugger with a hypnotizing groove that will appeal to the fans of the super value special edits series. one of sleazy beats finest releases yet, and as usual, a very limited affair (no digital, no repress).

the whole package is and is of the highest quality, we expect big support from the deephouse, techno and forward thinking dubstep djs for this, long may subwave continue this journey into music from future!

it really is an unbelievable honour for us that we may release this fantastic track by von spar, a track that might as well be found on their outstanding album >foreigner< from 2010. maybe it is because we are such a big label and this crude, elegiac, and emotionally mighty sound of these guys fits just perfect for us. and whoever would like get out of this tunnel of infinite deepness should rely on the remix ada comes up with. trust is good-but no doubt, control is better.

rome, italy native fabio bacchini has been holding it down for underground house music with his label mind travel, but takes a step to the left to give us a hot little ep on transport. the roman disco ep is exactly what it says on the box: no fancy gimmicks here, this release is comprised of four solid disco house jams. the first tune >weekender< is a nice phase guitar loop jam with signature disco pulsating strings amidst the happy snapping snare beats and soul train vocal snips. next is my favorite cut, >money talks<, a straight up disco rhodes organ jam a la the crusaders. add some saxophone in there for points with ladies, and you have yourself a jam. on the flip we have >in the mood< is takes the mood a bit deeper with a nice n spacey groove amidst a rhythm heavy beat. throw some synth strings and keys riffs in there for good measure and there you have it... disco house. sometimes stays within the same formula but brings a more pulsating sound that pushes the music. the tune is still deep and groovy as the ep winds down...

prins thomas spreads proper, earthy dub house vibes in a good old bobby konders tradition with >lang tung ting<. a hard driving jacker with dry, punching drums and grumbling, low-frequency acidic sounds not modulated by an 808 synth but from warped cello and bassoon lines. an ode to the timeless magic of beats and bass. much less sparse >ny maskin< on the flip is a dizzying disco/ rock jam backed by african derived beats and a gyranting, buoyant guitar lick . prins thomas brilliantly proves himself a jack of many trades again

siriusmo, der seit einer dekade auf verschiedenen berliner labels veröffentlicht und mit remixen für scissor sisters, gossip, chikinki, simian mobile disco, boys noize, digitalism, chromeo, munk u.v.a. ein beachtliches repertoire vorweisen kann, liefert endlich ein komplettes album ab. seine musik beschreibt der ex-graffiti-künstler, der mit stevie wonder, den beatles & hip hop aufgewachsen ist, als futuristisch. nicht jedoch dem heutigen bild der zukunft entsprechend, sondern eher wie man sich die zukunft in den 1970ern erdacht hat: übertrieben, ausufernd, improvisiert, farbenfroh, extravagant und offen für alles jenseits der eigenen vorstellungskraft. >mosaik< ist eine ca. einstündige musikalische zusammenstellung unterschiedlichster musikalischer ideen und stilrichtungen. futuristisch, vielseitig, überzeugend und einprägsam!

its an album, its deep, its acid, its fragile, its party, its lonely, its all together, its music itself, its special, its rvds with his >moments<. after the ep >waiting, kiss and love< comes the album now. inspired by classic deep and acid house. good to listen to these old instruments: tr-808, roland jp-6, wurlitzer e-piano and some other specials combined with new accents, but always a love to detroit music.

there are few artists making seriously great music while not taking themselves too seriously: that difficult feat is one rarely attempted and even less often successfully carried out. benoit & sergio have seemingly effortlessly managed to pull off that contradictory trick, producing songs that sometimes seem like musical open letters: editorials narrated in the voices of unidentified, yet totally recognizable colorful characters, read aloud against a backdrop of beautifully lush, warm and sensuous electronic pop music. the unexpected juxtaposition of such pristine production and playful lyricism — first exhibited on 2009s highly praised <i>what ive lost</i> ep, which included the brilliantly sardonic single >full grown man< – exemplifies why benoit & sergio are one of the most unique and interesting outfits in dance music. its good news, then, that the washington, d.c./berlin-based outfits eagerly expected dfa debut maintains both the charm and expert craftsmanship of its predecessors. single >boy trouble< (the titular counterpoint to >full grown man<) launches the ep with all manner of reasons to take to the dancefloor: an exigent beat, a beckoning synthline, a bassline of understated funk. sergio lethargically sings about girls, making note of both their ups and the downsides, without the hindrance of subtlety. >i love girls/with legs like a ferrari< he states before noting (bemoaning?) the fact that >you need poetry to turn these girls on.< its a song for the best part of the night, full of compulsive rhythms and a climax that builds on sparkly synths. the accompanying remix from visionquest — the detroit-bred, berlin-based label led by producers seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss and shaun reeves — amps things up, making the beat a more prominent, driving and club banging force. the flipside features >full grown man< and >what ive lost<, which reveal themselves to be worth more than a few revisits.

boys noize and housemeister, 2 good old friends from berlin with a lot of love for analog found together again to rave in the studio. after their first collaboration in 2006 under the name of eastwest, they are now brining us 3 new jams you don¥t want to miss. shizzo is the track youd probably expect from these 2 f..ckers:loud, noizy and stupid! its up and down parts shake the club like you were sitting in a rollercoaster - beware this is not for everyone. nbaxx is a new breakbeat track. breakbeat?yeah! with a hint of inspiration by lfo freak, this one comes quite minimal but hard, just the way these buddies like it. saturday the secret a side on this maxi is a disco-tech track, with moving arpeggios and big melodic break where spheric disco pads cool you down before you and the kids jump up to this piece of 2011 disco music.

two new faces on freakshow belong to a crazy spanish combo called kasbah zoo! established some years ago through the union of alex and nicolas who are based in barcelona. after 10 years of individually experience in music production and nightlife, they decided to create a new project where their maturity can do a refined music product.as a result they already had some underground hits during the last years. so far the two guys were releasing tracks on zoo:technique and rawthentic music. their next step took them straight into the intl. freakshowi&#769,s artist pool. with their original version of the title track i&#768,palabrasi&#770, kasbah zoo is unleashing a damn good piece of pumping techhouse. alongside the original we bring you 2 more remixes coming from christian burkhardt and romano alfieri. both are as hot as hell, too. all in all one must say that this record is keeping iti&#769,s dynamic groove from the start to the very end & it will help perfectly to get fully loaded from head to toe!

the next part from the good robot series ...techno from jeff mills
