darkos productions have attracted the attention of djs from all over the world. his remix of the title track of nina mirandas (smoke city) album shrift in 2005 was one example, earning him critical acclaim when the remix reached the top 10 in the us download charts. more recently mr rakas has joined darko and his strange worlds collective. together they have embarked on a musical mission, blending deep minimal house and techno with eastern european romani gypsy jazz. simplicity is the operative word best to describe this release. the over sexed sax solo of sexaphone (a one take wonder performed by ben hadwen) takes house music to a new level, whilst danote on the other hand reflects on the hypnotic repetition of the hook, building a solid groove around a repeating synth line, appearing here in two versions, the stripped back extended mix and the more immediate club edit. another great release from the up, coming and one to watch label universal vibes.

the long awaited trentemøller debut album - maybe one of the most anticipated independent albums of the year. trentemøller is one of the hottest artists on the electronic circuit - the man of the moment! a beautifully crafted, astonishing masterpiece, that will leave you breathless. the tracks form a story, almost like the soundtrack of a movie. it manages to capture a whole range of emotions in subtle melodic miniatures, dreamy ambiences, dusty beats, deep dub-tracks and driving groove-excursions. an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colours and moods, -the last resort- without a doubt contains trentemøllers best work to date. although its an electronic album, it also incorporates live-drums, guitars, bass and other acoustic instruments like celesta, glockenspiel, melodica and even dj scratching to create a more organic feel

tomie tribal nevada s new masterpiece kicks ass.. ante 26 presents 2 hypnotic groove tracks full of tricky sounds and noises.. great

classic detroit electro techno genre by combining beats and melodies with a unique groove to create a burst of colour and rhythmic energy.. this brings us the soulful and funk filled ways of agorias vision of music..

an extremely tasty 4 tracker from the massively talented par grindvik. the a1 is a real killer with its rising synths and sledgehammer drums whereas the a2 is a perfect contrast with its slow intense minimal groove. the b1 again is a real floor burner with its driving groove and clever synth edits halfway. the record closes with a superb more minimal interpretation yet agin. drumcode again proves it is still one of the most cutting edge imprints around... limited backstock available

adam beyers drumcode label has its ten year anniversary this year and there will be many releases as well as a massive compilation album project later in the year featuring brand new tracks from many of the label s key artists. one of the newest additions is the producer of this new release - tor lowkrantz or mighty thor as he is known. this 4 tracker again demonstrates the open musical policy of the label. the last hardcell release was a fine piece of work demonstrting influences from both hard and minimal techno sensibilities. this release focuses more on the harder end of the scale but still remains fresh with its almost old jeff mills and rob hood influences. all 4 tracks have a fat groove and are saturated with funk yet still pack serious punch in any set. another winner from drumcode

franco cinelli, one of the most gifted new producers coming out of argentina, presents here six uncompromisingly quirky club bombs. his previous releases on milnor modern and telegraph have just warmed you up to his sound. now dive in to >profundo amor< and get familiar with these intricately programmed club stompers. you can call it minimal, but when these tracks go ripping through a big pa, thats the last word that will be on your mind. with the opening track >flog<, you get a taste of the freaky after-hours grit that alphahouse records is becoming known for. >m26< is a robotic hair-raiser for the new generation. think minus on steroids. >twisted machine< features a stompy groove and some snare work to drive the dancefloor. >vertientes< is a great dj-tool with a low-slung bassline and dancing synths. >c3d< bounces along with a razor bassline and some tricky transitions. and >project 64< finishes off the lp with a synth line that falls out of the ceiling and straight onto the dancefloor. truly inspiring stuff here, from franco. no filler tracks. all of these are a-sides

the truesoul imprint represents the somewhat soulful side of its owner - adam beyer. here, cari lekebusch takes up the challenge and produces two wonderful tracks. on the a side we are treated to a wonderful deep 808 driven groove with eerie pads, neat reverses and cool cowbells that creates a wonderful intensity. on the flip side again the deep groove is apparent with neat vocoded vocal samples and fat bass before there is a cool break and the main synth sound appears in the track to give it a seriously intense lift

paul mac wont take no hostages, thats for sure. a rolling groove, a sound like a whip and the crowd is under control!

dj support by dj hell, luciano, troy pierce, davide squillace (dc10, ibiza) and many more... name+relucto first gathered praise as remixers for the aforementioned fool with their demented re rub of drama earlier this year. their debut is a four track vinyl and digital release. longblackcurlyteeth’ is a dark and deadly slice of techno which germinates from stripped sleeparchive style minimalism into a gloopy acid evolution that plunges and skews itself into the sinister depths of foreboding, resonant evil. blueballs picks up the tempo and undulates along a jacking groove of raw metallic, mashed up alien calypso funk. title track spawnofspoon is a demonic mongrel of future styles. this scuzzy hip hop homage is riddled with shredded vocals and mutant bass modulations which explode into a post rave, acid armageddon. alex cotex is in devastating form with his hypnotic rework of lbct, the result is a mesmerising, relentless beast that reverberates a pulsing throb underpinned by a fizzing 303 bassline

played by oliver huntemann, dubfire, popof, the glitz, pig&dan, style of eye, butch, mike monday, spektre, the hacker,… florian meindl, known for his releases on stil vor talent, trapez and kling klong is now coming up with a new impulsive ep on stephan bodzins prolific herzblut imprint, which is broadening the barriers of techno music since 2 years now ! the first track >aorta< starts with a catchy groove and soon turns into a melodic peak time monster. pure club tnt. >vena< is more beat orientated and straight forward from the beginning. it gets the people onto the floor like the venes bring the blood to the heart. the herzblut honchos super flu deliver a brilliant remix of >aorta<. a true dancefloor killer track with massive breaks for big party moments.

this year adam beyer s seminal drumcode label celebrates its 10th anniversary. to commemorate this there will be a wealth of material coming out this year as well as some special drumcode parties after the summer that will feature hardcell and grindviks amazing live act. this follows their live cd release from the end of last year. as part of this the gain series will now continue with more material from these 2 and this is the first 4 tracker to continue the series. the tracks themselves are a fresh and varied ranging from the hard synth driven anthem that is salt and the harder driving rhythm gate bay to the exceptionally subtle groove with deep chords that is plankton to the sublime fish tank with its clever building feel and uplifting pads

gaetano parisio returns to supreme form here for his very own conform label with this monster 2 tracker. gaetano has always managed to be diverse in his style with his southsoul and conform labels and here he manages to create a powerful dance floor killer that will surely appeal. the a side is driven by a monster growling analogue bassline groove and razor sharp production punctuated by cool edits and a superb break which simply builds the intensity whilst the flip is a menacing minimal stripped down groove that simply builds and builds. superb

don ka the king (behind this guise you can find a famous dj out of bologna) puts together a tribal groove and an harmonic melody ..... the result is an aggressive track dedicated to the world of club !!! good job mr. k......o !!!!

baker street sits perfectly alongside such great french labels as robsoul and brique rouge and fittingly, phil weeks delivers a trademark deep and soulful groove for lead track. 3 variations on the theme, but label bosses holmes & watz step out of their familiar territory for a smoking hip hop joint to round the ep off. baker street offer a top notch ep that would get even the good dr watson nodding his head to.

3 famose tracks, die nicht klar strukturiert erscheinen, sondern eher durch sounds leben, welche raffiniertergänzt ein ganzes, einen groove teppich erzeugen. meisterhafte umsetzung ist bei namen wie koze,basteroid, ada und dee pulse garantiert!

riz mc ist ziemlich angesagt auf der insel und liefert uns zwei verwegene tracks mit frische-garantie. irgendwo zwischen mos def & prodigy sind die beissenden lyrics gepaart mit fetten beats anzusiedeln. umseitig gibt es einen remix von loco dice, der bereits support von tiefschwarz, sasha, luciano, radioslave, groove armada, cassy und vielen anderen bekommt.

the young band cours de performance presents us their debut - release on phonothek. its called one! this varied and extremely good produced record tunes in the club season with a beat of a kettledrum. certainly you hear the influence of the three guys - berlin! the result is a super functional ep, which is played from friday until monday. hammerfall charmed with the warm synthie and the oily clap, which even let the crowd freaks out. white walls the fantastic hands up track, which you never will forget. the amazing song you are thee is definitely produced for the peak time and shakes the sound system with a playful kick. petre inspirescus trash is a small homage to sakadat, but the guys show us how to get more groove from the metaphysical - bomb. rise, listen and start to dance. were excited to hear more of course de performance

already played and charted by: efdemin, sebo k, onur ozer, loco dice, laurent garnier, tobi neumann, jamie jones, d julz, karotte, 2000 and one, mike shannon, gruber & nuernberg, tom clark.. !!fumakilla is proud to present the debut ep of the romanian guys livio & roby which will cause quite a stir! tuxedo band is modern house shit, the perfect tool for all mainplayers. funky and burning grooves with warm basslines and a sexy feeling. on the flip site is again a remix, this time for jozef mihaliks “listen”. jacking oldschool groove, hypnotic synth cords and sounds like a blare of trumpets. it’s a monster dancefloor killer and a perfect dj weapon.. this is part one of a pair of two 12“, so watch out for the next!!!

der gewinner der kategorie >best dutch dance producer< gibt sich die ehre. ausgefuchster techno am puls der zeit.

the into the night ep is a wonderful deep, slow & moving record that should be one of the highlights in this years autumn sessions. into the night kicks off with some wild pitch – alike chords and builds up soulful, moody but strong. tectonic move is so damn groovy and might be one the funkiest trax ever coming out of the metaworld universe of matt flores. also the tempo of almost 120 bpm is sexy as hell... all percussions & the bass are played live by matt flores. “tectonic move” also features some extatic detroitish synths that makes you scream. a definitive winner! the tectonic move flores & saenger dub has been rearranged a bit by matt flores and farsides ingo saenger (one half of westpark unit). they stripped the tune, put more focus on the groove and re dubbed all harmonies & synths. the result is a funky smokers riddim for all you dubby tool headz out there.

re-jigging the classic andy weatherall production, smoke belch sabres 2 paradise re-crafts the 1993 anthem into a tough tech house groove more suited for the modern dancefloor. demand for this bootleg has been growing since last december when a handful of copies were passed out to key tastemaker djs

when ibizas dream theme and cult djs of the island cesar de melero, tuccillo and dj pippi come together for a production called «el amor es mas», you can be sure, that it will be something with an unmistakable balearic sound and groove. in fact here we go with the first release of this 3 musketeers on purple tracks with a selection of various mixes to choose including a jamie lewis remix for the darker room

first pressing in white coloured vinyl, wake up is bound to be a winner with its cool groove, strong bass & catchy voc loop. an 8min+ deep tech masterpiece !! on the vanity side 2 killer tracks by tommy vicari jnr.

big one! spins from mandy, sebo k, dyed soundorom, glimpse, rob mello, jennifer cardini, adam beyer, anja schneider, h.o.s.h, ripperton, konrad black, martin landsky, afrilounge, dorian paic, matt tolfrey, kiki, mathias tanzmann, jimpster, nick curly, david k, eric borgo, okain,… ‘junkyard funk’ was one of the seminal house albums to come out of the uk in 2000. masters of the deep groove clive henry, also resident at dc10, and justin drake are one of the most respected duo’s in house music with over 10 years experience in the business. whilst many contemporaries have fallen by the wayside peace division have remained at the forefront of underground house. following 2007’s seminal ‘soft heavy’ ep for crosstown rebels, 2008 has seen them release a second coast 2 coast compilation for nrk and the critically acclaimed ‘the lab’ ep on tsuba. part 1 of ‘junkyard funk reconstructions’ sees jamie jones and rozzo update the classics. jamie jones has always been heavily inspired and influenced by peace division so when the opportunity arose to remix the seminal ‘bu4t’ he was more than a little excited. the result is his biggest remix to date.

nice price deal !!! one of this summers hotest ibiza tunes with support from nic fanciulli, pete tong (essential new tune), groove armada (played during their live essential mix from eden on 12th june 2008 - bbc radio 1), carl cox, dave spoon (on bbc radio 1), atfc, aaron ross (defected / galaxy fm), sarah main (pacha, ibiza / galaxy fm), sonny wharton, judge jules (bbc radio 1) multiple plays from pete tong on bbc radio 1 essential selection. plus support on pete tongs fast trax show

nice price deal !!! kifsa recording artist and one half of ‘troubleman, bruno banner takes a rugged approach with his latest outing for cooler than cool london outfit centric. raw, throbbing synth cuts through the dancefloor, underpinned with an irresistible bottom end. defected stars ‘wipe the needle keep the groove, filtering it to great effect and with laurent garnier already championing this, centric have a big record on their hands. cutting edge house that is destroying floors across the board

there is the 2nd part of the faze series from sam rouanet aka reynold (boss of trenton records) with one hell of a track called straight into the wall, a straight up (real) shuffled groove with nice chords and a killer electro bass line! the remix from till vons sein is definitely as good… deeper. great work from till though, he is really on the ramp right now and we will see more of his work on the upcoming trenton releases. also a new signed artist on the label is der thal that is giving us a remixed version of the craft tune from reynolds faze part.1 recent ep.

there is certainly not enough space to tell you all the great things about move d we would love to share with you. being the musical mind behind the legendary source records imprint, david moufang has always been a versatile and prolific character. from ambient soundscapes to krautrocky epics, jazz sensibilities or straight up techno and house, he has done it all with his own special and unique touch. this lovely fingerprint is spread all over the “cube ep . intended as a tribute to heidelberg’s finest club night of the same name (don’t mix it up with that other square project!) , move d shots two arrows straight into your heart. “cube” is one of those stripped down hypnotic affairs that seem to go on forever and ever just to surprise you with a nice breakdown, before it’s groove sucks you in again. we guess this is what people mean, if they talk about the beauty of simplicity. “heidelberg gals” flips the script in three parts with an old school approach and turns into a monolithic house monster with a bassline to boot. panache! bust a move d!

hot second release on messalina records, featuring not like you, a brilliant re edit of alan parsons i wouldnt wanna be like you which extends the groove perfectly and works it into a chugging balearic rock stormer. the b side opens with i just did it, an excellent edit of an obscure eurythmics cut from their 1984 soundtrack lp sped up, pumped up and stretched out into a bouncing balearic groove. this is followed by past twelve, an extended edit of jj cales version of the classic after midnight. great stuff.

laurent garnier - this is gonna sound great on a big system will definitely try it out. hernan cattaneo - original is huge. dave seaman - rocking paul van dyk - original mix for me. thanks. patch park - sweet package! original and distaff remix are in the cd wallet markus schulz - reallly like the original mix

ah, its time for some eerie minimal techno again. dry, percussive, hypnotic, trippy. when sunday turns into monday and the week starts exactly like the last one ended – on the dancefloor, propelled by a thumping bassdrum. dima is a bar 25 regular and has released on beatsreet (another berlin institution of endless afterhour journeys) before. this one is his bar 25 debut, tried and tested on various occasions and legendary sasomo moments. his four tracks dive deep into a nocturnal techno habitat, where percussion- sounds fade away in the twilight and the groove just won’t stop. there is no way out, just give in to its pleasures

incl excellent kos remix !! interesting for remote area fans.. dj support from tong / mark knight / sharam / groove armada & nick warren

j gorton is a seattle based producer and dj who has drawn on his vast knowledge of discos dark underbelly to put together these outstanding edits of lesser known, but no less wonderful cuts from the heyday. his informative and well respected american athlete blog has become an addictive and invaluable resource for all eager disciples of the good groove, shining a light on the often forgotten tracks which fell between the cracks of the mirrorball. cabana disco vol. 01, is the first in a series of ridiculously limted (200 copies) 12s. the series starts off with mr. les stache reworking three amazing rarities which include gepy & gepys 1979 disco classic african love song, alongside this sits an obscure cut from kurt hauensteins (of supermax) late 70s disco group bamboo, as well as the 1979 mid-tempo cosmic disco classic livin in the jungle by john tropea. this is an absolute essential for any disco enthusiast.

under the radar ep big with: carl cox, funk dvoid, jamie jones, luca bachetti, slam, nick curly, paolo mojo, kiki, dario zenker, trickski, geddes, chris carrier, jeff samuel, davide squillace, lee burridge, luke solomon, thomas schumacher, solomun, chloe, shinedoe, nic fianculli amelie is the newly born production outfit sophie oliver & claudia lovisa, already a highly acclaimed duo on the dj circuit. their names have been on everyones lips this year for the dynamic and stylish way in which they bring adancefloor to its knees. on this their first ep they team up with supernature founders audiofly for a two tracker that will certainly raise many heads in the techno and house scene. ‘move employs clever drum patterns with an insistent looped female vocal working the track into a groove that never lets the listener go. ‘generous for one has a similar smoothness in its production but in a more driving manner. the surprise in it comes in the way of some jazzy keys half way into the track that will uplift the crowd to another level. hot romanian starlets livio & roby get to work on ‘move with a very current interpretation. this amelie v audiofly ep is proof that claudia and sophie have the talent and charm to put them ahead of the game in very little time indeed.

strong bigroom mixes by daddys groove!

artizan number four wheels in the big guns from londons clubbing firmament in the shape of faith head honchos terry farley & dave jarvis who deliver a simple yet deadly house groove. if that were not enough, there are some heavy duty remixes from jafar & touch, funky transport & tom blacksoul, this ep adds a touch of class to proceedings

mysterious and most of all vinyl only whitelabels seem to be the call of the day. if they are as good as this one here i have no doubt - this trend will stay our fried. open produced bassy and sweat boxing, slamming chicago - detroit- chicago style house with great piano chord and slight pitched atmosphere. somehow between early chez n ron and roy davis , dj pierre, kerri, mood2 swing, nu groove, kot. now ive almost named them all. oops… . sinister but oh so sexy!

the 3rd part with four delicious housetracks ... vom deep to techhouse

support comes from steve bug, shinedoe, karotte, james flavour, gruber & nuernberg, paulo olarte !! highgrade goes east! with homm & popoviciu the berlin-gang grows in the eastern direction - to be specific: romania. their musical..output..of both wasn..t hard to spot, because markus homm and mihai popoviciu made a name for themselves for quite a while. no wonder that their output spreads across several..high-class..labels like dj hell..s international deejay gigolos, pascal feos.. non zero records, as well as the british immigrant and the spanish sub conce label. after their first strike - highgrade digital number 009, this is their first vinyl ep on highgrade. without any doubts they take the chance to demonstrate their most.. appreciated.. skills: on the the titletrack >urban ballroom< they send a massive..house-groove..to a trip, alongside with a swinging bassline, decent melodylines and some springy percussions, combining perfectly funkyness and deepness. >contact< and >wipp< on the flipside are convincing in the same versed way. the former slightly more dubby, the latter comes up with a little more speed. all in all forming an ep cast from the same mould, while the title >urban ballroom< says it all. homm & popoviciu are delivering a new housy shade for the labelsound, which suites highgrade perfectly

his this years 2nd album >heavy day< still heavily resonates in peoples ears, now that falko brocksieper already delivers an appropriate follow-up. on >fresh 727< brocksieper finds back to raw, sketchy arrangements, evolving their full energy just from deep, rolling basic grooves, as opposed to the close examination of each tiny sound and every dramaturgic peculiarity in the recent longplayers production. on the title track >fresh 727< noisy, maurizio-esque house chords encounter futuristic vocal messages, while edgy, classic drumbox-riffs rip up the dense atmosphere of the track again and again. a deep, marching groove and the freeminded combination of elements signalize special club moments from the very start. on the backside >request< turns out to be an equally organic, sizzling counterpart, which can promote its sustainable cheerfulness alone by its ongoing bouncy bassline, in a way that all accessory parts get dispensable - to the benefit of a well-balanced blend of rattling percussion, carved vocals and quirky atmo...s

wir gratulieren herzlichst zum runden geburtstag! dann mal auf die nächsten 10...! knallfetter birthday bash (teil 1 von 3) mit exklusiven tracks von guillaume & the coutu dumonts, chupacabra, dorian paic & laverne radix

likely ep is tims first release on tiefschwarzs souvenir label. lead track alike sounds like ivan smagghe jamming with richie hawtin in a warehouse rave in london, skirting a line between futuristic tech house and discerning electro. a live bassline holds down the groove as a trickling bleepy melody develops throughout the track. as more and more layers of elaborate sonic trickery are laid down, a driving snare jacks out the groove further before a series of effects laden breakdowns tighten the tension further and further. cowbells take the second phase of the track ever taughter before the groove emerges into a stabbing hook and pulsating synth noises that drive the dancefloor into blissed out oblivion. subtle vocals tease the ears in the background of the final strung out breakdown, never quite dominating the tune before the jacking bass and kick drop back in. ‘unlike shares a similar vibe for mixing live instruments with plug in madness. live sounding bassline and guitar lines open the track and roll out the groove before the main synth hook takes over. as the track rolls in and out of its breakdowns it lurches between reverb heavy, bleepy chaos and futuristic rhythms. think depeche mode writing an experimental instrumental on the moon in 2012 and youre halfway there. like many french artists these days tim lives and works in london and also collaborates with fellow frenchies ivan smagghe and dante eprom. he first caught the attention of vinyl sleuths with his excellent remix of db (8)s future now in 2004 and now runs his own label marketing music as well as pushing the boundaries of spacey electro flavoured tech house with his own solo material.

1992 classic house tune!!
