the new, first time ever on vinyl 2lp reissue of a long way around to a shortcut is somehow a greatest hits of the golden not quite decade of sic alps. well, not quite golden, either. can gold be tarnished? can it be done on purpose? if so, sic alps are artisans of the highest order - for their music is the bright, surging sound of ye olde rock & roll radio (and the garages that tuned in) heard through air darkened with specks of nameless obstruction. in and amongst their ingrown sounds, sic alps take on classic tunes from strapping field hands, throbbing gristle and the zipps on a long way around to a shortcut. it is to their credit that they completely absorb their estimated predecessors and create the only sound left to them: the sound of the sic alps. a long way around to a shortcut was issued as a cd in 2008. it collected songs that were first issued throughout the epic years of 2006 and 2007 on two 12inch eps, three 7inch singles and a cassette, plus a song from a compilation cd r and a song exclusive to this compilation. the records were originally given titles like united, strawberry guillotine, semi streets, hip hop sweepers vol 1, teenage alps, and the soft tour in rough form, but all these original releases are long gone.

the mighty soundmen on wax unleash 3 of their latest & greatest projects showcasing new talent to the label as well as some familiar names & faces. the wipe the needle boys kick things off with their collab with vocalist eddie stockley pure soulful smoothness with live guitars and classy drums. fresh from their outing on louie vegas vega imprint, djn project make their sow debut with æbeautiful people. instant hooky melody and as ever with the label a vocal to just die for, makes for the perfect combination. finally, defected artist dolls combers provides the killer remix on tyron dixons æbring it back bursting with hooky, catchy piano riffs, big vocals, and a steady moody bass. a major ep from an institutional label.

after mondkopf and 33hz, here is the fool house third ep : deloreans ayrton senna, somewhere between phoenix, the though alliance and air france, coming with a remix by john talabot, the latest revelation on the excellent permanent vacation label. delorean is an unheard scenario in popular music. 4 barcelonans, free as air, high on o2. gradually moving away from a more hardcore scene they are now ready to embrace a kind of techno that youd play with guitars. they did just that with their 3rd ep into the plateau which was well received in a cross-over underground scene- well before the electro-something ideas and the 80s references became the clichÚs of an overcoded era. in 2008, delorean got stuck into in the remix business working on tracks for mystery jets, big pink and glasser. for now delorean are focused on developing a new type of indie pop and judging by the early support from pitchfork, fader or xl8r this band are ones to watch. its with the greatest pride that fool house welcomes them, for a length of 4 songs, just like a holiday

this is the fourth release of the future roots series, the trials and tribulations of the first three download releases overwhelmingly convinced producer dj deep that a vinyle series was of an utmost necessity to authenticate the project..the aventure thus starts here..future roots is dedicated to new talents and is a subdivision of deeply rooted house .....future roots is very happy to welcome english artist alexander ross to the label. born in sheffield and now residing in berlin after a number of years traveling and working throughout the world, ross credits his formative years in his birth town with its rich, diverse musical history and world renowned community of passionate musicians and promoters as his greatest influence and the place where the foundations where laid for his dedicated and inevitably lifelong relationship with quality music in all of its many forms. ross first official release earlier this year on these days records saw him collaborate with greek artist argy on the hugely powerful see no evil which gained widespread praise from a broad range of djs and fans of the label alike. the apparent line...ep is made up of three spacial, driving drum tracks which draw influence in equal parts from alexander ross interest in reverb washed dub, deep techno and the cyclic, rolling grooves of percussive african music. the pieces utilise tight dynamic rhythms and expansive, echoing reverberations to create three striking and effective moments. support from carl craig, josh wink, laurent garnier, loco dice, argy, manuel tur, martin landsky, manoo & more!

we once again welcome back diskjokke to the motherpupp after a succesful run of releases on smalltown supersound and kindisch. 2008 was a hectic year for joachim, putting together his live band, doing remixes for metronomy, foals and lykke li to name a few and spreading melodic, trance-inducing feelgood disko gospel around the world. asa nisi masa has been causing much mayhem the last 12 months even causing girls to offer me services i wont mention here...wibbly wobbly arpeggios massaging your buttocks...very very rude indeed as already showcased on the full pupp/greatest tits compilation, >cearadactylus< is definitely a different kind of beast. slow and chugging along at a tempo even fit for dinosaurs

gaetano proudly presents pig & dan with cocoon recordings fame on his imprint with a remix full of madness which is blowing your mind. pig & dan had so many releases and remixes the past years that you cant mention every single one. they are one of the worlds greatest techno producers without losing their base. however this record delivers a very special sound combined with great grooves and breaking melodies to conquer your mind and inspire your emotions. imagine that this record will to take you on a ride - away from a dark monotonous world to a place you create in your mind. it is touching your soul. play it loud!

under his raudive alias, oliver ho has created a trademark blend of future forward house and techno that has been the sound to some of the greatest moments on our favourite dancefloors over the last couple of months. recently labels like cocoon, drumcode and pokerflat were blessed to release superb pieces by raudive and he created enthusiasm all accross the board from ricardo villalobos to sven väth. for his macro debut he moved a step further: the cone ep with its 3 cuts of twisted house brings some serious madness to the club: raudive’s signature beats get a strong jazz infusion with bits of saxophone and an out-of-control piano spinning around the pumping bassline. crazy all the way while delivering a maximum of dancefloor appeal.

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.

the running back sports team is glad to welcome two new players to its roster. dplay and whiz kid manuel tur (see also his brilliant ribn stuff) have caused a great stir with a bouquet of 12-inches for outfits like zurichs beloved drumpoet community or the compost black label as well as knocking out well-made remixes. for instance, their work on kiloos the passion is just adorable. here we have them melted into one organism called dplay, while mtur moves in silence (or in the production credits, if you please). stretching out on the a-side, huub sand is not only a tribute to two of schalke 04s greatest gentlemen, but a prime-example of cavernous, stoic and infective house those two (no not the schalke guys) had quite an impact on. initially planned to come with a remix by the mighty radio slave (please look at cat-no. 012 to see what became of that), our coach could convince the duo to hand out two rather atypical, nonetheless bloodcurdling tunes instead: tschaka kicks some deep dub disco houz styles of the highest orders with riot-like effects on your mind, body & soul. finally, schroulé is a claustrophobic corker, if we have ever seen one. should be the perfect sound track for padded cells and the up-and-coming remake of mel brooks frankenstein. these ruhrpott kids are alright!

prologue and juho kahilainen (bpitch control, frozen north, initial cuts) release a wonderful deep depressive giant ep called prophet without a vision. juho is recognized as a great electronic artist in europe with the right talent to take you on an excessive dance floor journey without any compromises. de:bug wrote about juho, everybody should take an eye on his productions. prologue shares the same opinion! juho kahilainen has produced one of the greatest summer hits last year on bpitch control and is back on prologue music with a mind-boggling ep called prophet without a vision, now. he is delivering perfect techno tracks with space consuming tunes and unbelievable deepness, people cannot really sit down... you must dance. but dont lose too many words about this prologue release, just listen to it and be surprised. mastered by oliver lieb. support from cio dór, oliver lieb, alex flatner, donato dozzy and many more to come!

medias have stated recently that the number of millionaires is still rising every year... funny or scandalous? while others are sitting greedily on their fortune, one of them, kind of musically obsessed to say the least, keep to share his assets with the lucky few that will hold a part of his twelve inches serie in their hand. still getting another round of applause for the third offering that impressed quality djs from all circles (from milez benjiman to marc mac, passing by prins thomas to chateau flight), the selfmade millionaire is gaining more supporters release after release. this time, he is tributing the greatest boxer of all time and his legendary shuffle techniques in a funky boogie way with nearly 8 minutes of irresistible feelgood grooviness. many things have been said about this highly influential character, but few know that his boxing moves would have originated some freestylin’ breakdance figures. one more reason why the milionaire wanted to encourage you to do the ali...wait to flip the record to get another punch! even gave you diamonds is a restless groove that could transform an egyptian mummy into a marathon party goer with its numerous hooks, clavinet stabs and powerful catchy vocals. the tune seems to be about a guy whos really tired of his posh lady who cannot get enough of all her fancy gimmicks. would our milionaire gone autobiographical on this one? who knows...

funny a side!! the danish scene has evolved a lot over the last years, with acts like trentemøller, martinez and whomadewho. the new label tartelet records is rising from the horizon of the copenhagen club culture. tartelet records is founded by fredski (the man behind the greatest copenhagen parties ) and tomboy (aka tomas barfod, dj, producer and drummer of whomadewho, with previous releases on turbo, kitsuné , get physical and gomma). the two founders themselves are also behind this first tartelet release, which is a true showcase of what the label stands for: tech-house with multiple flavors like ghetto, funk, disco and a bit world. the a-side ‘do the tartelet’ is a schizophrenic yet effect full combination of sampled horn-madness, hand claps and techno bass. on the flip side ‘cereal’ sounds as if james holden and paul jonson were trying to make minimal house together. the future releases from tartelet promise remixes from world-league remixers (tba) and tracks by danish kleshmer-techno-reggae band analogik do the tartelet

after the genre-smashing, seven vinyl pressings deep (and counting) success of viktor casanova, there is no way that the italoboyz could possibly top their first appearance on mothership, right? wrong! we are happy to report that they have created an organic techno masterpiece in >bahia<, enlisting the help of one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time - john coltrane. youve never heard the master like this - the italoboyz have molded the original >bahia< into a stomping peak timer as only they can. their trademark monster kick underpins stuttering jazz kits, a playful piano line, and an insistent, soulful tenor sax sample from the man himself (cleared after four months of intense negotiations). bahias intro leads into one of the most surprising and euphoric breaks you will ever hear. there are two versions to choose from - the party swing mix gets right to the point, grabbing you by the scruff of your neck. the flip sides mucho lungo mix is perfect for those late night warehouse moments, taking its time to deliver the sweet payoff

welcome to the deepest nightmare of pulshar, welcome to nospheratus territory. an unforgettable trip into the darkest side of the bands soul, inspired by the cult movie nospheratu, this is one of the greatest dub and melancholic tracks of the year. a trippy bass and envolving melodies for an instant bloody dub joy. rod modell and steven hitchell take the controls on the b side and produce one of their best reworks yet under their echospace alias. they have reduced the original track to a deep and emotional piece. a majestic cavalcade into dub techno, a composition full of rich textures which remind of a cloudy day in detroit city, accompanied by a subtle conga that kicks off from the middle of nowhere and turns out really smooth, deep & dark. a little different than the material from their album on modern love, more reduced into the deepchord sound, a little more scaled back

born and raised in nantes, france, the parisian r-play began his career in 2000 with the d-clik crew. parties and events organizer, dj and producer, follower of a minimal techno, r-play uses to share frenzied groovy drums and hypnotic or freaky sounds. his sets wander between many different dance floor styles. in 2003 he founded a first label hologram and then launched triumbeats in 2004 for his own releases with noaria, and produces many tracks in such different style like minimal techno, hard techno, ambient or world music. his productions are play listed and mixed by most of the greatest international artists.

hum along is one of the earliest productions of mr. mwambe. he started the track in the beginning of 2004 and for the last 4 years it has always been a very important and personal part of his life. only brontosaurus intelligence & ca$h were able to get this masterwork for this lickyboom- boom-down house 12. to complete the commotion full time nice guy, father and electronic innovator move d from the beautiful city of heidelberg sat down to deliver a spontaneous disco version of the track – reanimating the fresh and impro vibe of late 90ies german disco / house productions. the b-side >greatest love< continues where artos mudhutma 12 ends, celebrating the unholy passion of deep housemusic. voila.. a limited number of covers will be hand-printed with another nice torso. as always.
