chilean born dinky is a long standing resident at panorama bar. her warm, technical house sound, underpinned by intricate rhythmic and harmonic elements is a much loved staple of the scene. >take me< is a wonderful meeting of thuggish house and soul-infused, feel-good energy. a surprise break leads to unexpected vibes and a brief encounter with some rhodes keys action. >polvo< is a psychedelic ride through more cerebral moments, possessing the power to truly lock you in. the extended passages of this breezy, garage-house hybrid just highlight dinkys instincts for dramatic timing.

2010 was an incredible successful year for nosferatu, with no doubt the biggest highlight of them all, hosting his own area at trillogy 2010! as a tribute to this night he hit the studio with some of his good and well - known friends in the scene, which resulted into this wonderful 4 tracker on enzyme records. the tracks sick of it all (feat. evil activities) and hate on yourself (feat. the viper) can already be called real floor fillers.poop (feat. ruffneck) and hope dissolves (feat. outblast) have a more experimental character, but they definitely know how to bring movement to every dance floor around the globe!

easy and the center of the universe we already know from their recent flogsta danshall 7 inch release and some skweee compilers,remember legend of selda on skweee tooth?this new release on harmonia is as the previous ones infected with arabian soundbites. we recognize the details from our nights in the medina of marrakesh, we slip into our caftan, smoke the water pipe and drink mint tea,and are bodypoppin like an egyptian. no kiddin, this record is so imaginative and so true to its style that you cant go any other way. details of the percussion on halloumi are so good with the details in the orchestration (references to uom kalthoum records come to mind) the pitch and modulation wheels used intensive. with this release easy & center of the universe prooves again that skweee is one of the most evolving styles at the moment. this is exotic and exiting music.

cursor miners fourth studio album >requires attention< is his most coherent and accomplished record yet. featuring the singles >mad cow< (which spent 2 weeks on the dmc update chart) and >luna< (currently picking up radio play from huw stephens (bbc radio 1), nick luscombe (bbc 6 music), john kennedy (xfm) and more), it combines everything that is good and great about cursor miner, which is basically just about everything.

new label from the very hot the dead rose music company kicking off with a double header from themselves & tomas malo **pressed on white vinyl**

>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).

subwave returns to metalheadz for a musical outing that will certainly have a few scratching there heads in wonderment, this is not the usual output we hear from headz but it sits just perfectly with releases like commix remix album >recall to mind<. >naked lunch< takes us on a journey into deep house electronics, lush strings and slick programming all the way this is fit for any dance-floor. on the flip >raindance< takes us into dubstep territory – if you are a fan of nonplus and disfigured dubz then this is most certainly for you, its warm, moody (in a good way) and beautifully crafted, there is even a hint of old school detroit in this one ...
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

the danish duo darkness falls is a new alternative rock duo right from the centre of the emerging copenhagen music scene, a collaboration between josephine philip (vocals, keyboards) and ina lindgreen (guitar, bass). their sound is rooted in rock tradition, with elements of post punk, distant beats, and chanting, textured productions wrapped up with a great passion for classic 60s twang guitar sounds. a beautiful mixture of charming pop and melancholy, this is feel good music for 2011 and beyond. produced by trentemøller these 4 tracks are a spellbinding taste of things to come. the combination of trentemøllers glistening production and the unique, heartfelt music of darkness falls is sure to uplift and inspire.

records like this dont come very often. thankfully it seems there are still people out there who care enough to create beautiful projects and timeless music. after the ingenious june white label came out last summer, these days records office fell in love with it and without wasting any time rushed to contact the mysterious artist and propose an album. although well-hidden in a secret back-alley of west london where june lives and dreams music, his unique approach on acid house, synth wave, chicago house and 80s nostalgia was too good to be left unnoticed and has been favored by people such as panorama bars steffi, mathematicss owner hieroglyphic being, terre thaemlitz and the clone record store to name but a few. almost half a year after his >alleviation< ep, junes debut album >cytheria< has been realized and features a 12inch sampler with two brand new tracks and two remixes by critically acclaimed dj sprinkles on one of junes older tracks >lost area<. terre thaemlitz aka dj sprinkles, who has been well renowned for his contributions in music and arts in general for the past two decades, delivers an epic remix that takes one to a forgotten musical territory somewhere between early warp records, hacienda, 80s new york club sound and older balearic music. the albums cd version includes 10 new songs and 4 from the artists back catalogue and retains a great balance between dance floor orientated tracks and synth-pop.

jackoff records is back with two excellent trax from berlins local hero oliver deutschmann. deutschmann is a regular figure behind the decks at panorama bar and also runs two labels, vidab and falkplatz, which have been making waves in the techno scene for some time now. for jackoff records, deutschmann has produced some of his most sexy house music to date but never forgetting his signature groove that no dance floor can resist. adding to the great package our friend, detroit s very own patrice scott, delivers a swirling remix full of emotion in true sistrum style. enjoy!

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!

so … the story goes something like this: being inspired one day by 69 >desire<, vince decided to create an interpretation of it using his own unique sound. the track was done very quickly as a gimmick to send to carl craig as a mark of respect for his own track, now the track has been signed by carl for planet e and the world will now hear that very 12 minute piano and string filled beatless gimmick that is proving to be vinces most musical piece to date. its epic stuff. flipmode with >qualia< which takes off where vinces fcom material left off. deep driving hypnotic dancefloor material with an orchestra thrown in for good measure.
