melbourne based junji masayama swerves his debut bearfunk release flying in from leftfield in the guise of his green circle ep. its a fine four tracker for which the adjective eclectic was surely made. smatterings of disco sensibilities, bleepy house, deep groove & squelching synths. green circle leads the pack with all its underground rhythms and chunky synths. monotone radio is a drum led wonk soundscape whilst sponge feet is one for the more uptempo alternative disco floors. oyster rounds things off with more eclectic beats and disco firefly darting keys. one for the varied tapestry that is bearfunk.

this release offers 3 more tracks of quality techno! this time on the original mix angelo pomposo and tad g. dish out a track inspired by the murena, a fish infamous for its lethal venom. la murena starts in a deceivingly quite fashion, when, a couple of minutes into the track, the subtle background sounds take over with a mighty sting. by now more percussions add to the relentless groove. at the end just when you think it is calming down, a dark pad appears from nowhere bringing you in to the closing beats. all in all a track for every dj in search of good quality and effective dance floor productions. flavio folco and stewart walker take in charge of remixes! flavio folco s one is a deeper excursion into the dark side of tech-house, able to satisfy demanding customers with a good blend of dance floor oriented music. stewart walker s remix completes in great style the proceedings. while leaving behind his softer side he retains his own unmistakeable imprint with an excellent job, very much in tune with freshfood style! have fun!

1992 chicago house classic!!

since the early releases from the mid nineties, every muscial statement made by this man must be investigated. never one to put a step wrong, the sonic mind sound became instantly unique, raising the awareness of the techno community of what lay between detroit & chicago - kalamazoo.in the 21st, now residing in poland, the d knox sound continues to develop. whilst maintaining the acute instinct for getting all elements of tracks in beautiful balance for the maximum techno funk & groove, each track carries a lightness, maybe even translucent quality of sounds so characteristic of his style. once simple question - do you have a sonic mind

after the massive success of spektres remix of >ps. you rock<, we are proud to present their own single on blufin . these 2 guys from leeds produced straight to the point again, keeping a massive energy on their groove . uto karem trimmed the track down to its basics with his remix, solid to the base, clubby & twisting the peoples mind, but again with the result : >ps. we keep on rockin !!!<

la danse de l hibouthe fourth release with bucketround follows the path left by his past references, not disregarding the exploration of new horizons. oval future face (bucketround recs) grants us his peculiar way of understanding electronic music. avoiding the hype or settled guidelines la danse de l hibou brings us right in the middle of the night where nocturnal birds of prey hunt. we are in front of his deepest work so far, full of details and rhythmical shifts shrouded in minimal sound with its own soul... as if it was meant to be just for this work, it is apt for lounge listening, dancefloors or even forests. the re mixes collection does not fall short on quality: pablo bolivar (regular) as usual everything he touches turns into gold and this time pablo does not disappoint. nimble groove full of hectic changes and sudden pauses enriches this melodic remake. a real dancefloor hit. angel galan (add sensor) theres no rule for crafting remixes and angel is the clearest example. an amazing explosion of multicolor strokes transformed into tangled logic sound.

hit alert: as already tipped in the cool cuts chart in music week - where the track has been recently hitting the top 20, thats jazz is an old school jazzy house groove and definitely one of the most surprising and euphoric track surfaced in miami this year. already playlisted from bbc, galaxy fm, kiss fm and radio fg and supported from adam shaw, glenn morrison, riva starr, dj chus, robert owens, hector romero, freeform five, john acquaviva, jim rivers, gold ryan, tiger stripes, cicada, atfc, sultan & ned shepard, gus gus, elite force, audiojack, rob mello, chris lake and satoshi tomie.

asd008 sees the return of alex krueger and a welcome one at that! this oneÆs 5 tracks deep (including a digital exclusive) and includes a pair of fine remixes from londoner-in-berlin, mark henning, ôblasted bitchö is tigerskin at his best. the title cut is a feast of sonic trickery, with sounds playing off each other beautifully to create a wide, dense soundscape which, paired with clipped percussion, clever dancefloor arrangement, evil laugh & crude vocal sample this one delivers tough. henning, a man known for his abilities with sound design himself, takes a darker route with his interpretation which, while still driving, is more of a heads down late night affair û riddled with oddball delays and some unnerving vox efx. ôwhat theö takes a turn to the darkside, moody, sharp, reveb laden and pulsing, the track is real heavy business watch out for that unholy belgian hardcore synth riff a la ômentasmö, thereÆs a real æmomentÆ in there. to round off the original cuts. responseö continues seeing tigerskin provide a straighter groove but one which displays some sterling keyboard work and strong break. finally, henning provides another remix of the title track as the digital only addition all too important these days. futuristic deep, tech-house is about as close as a description anyone needs for this superb final piece of an equally superb package.

cosmic groove mix by mastermind prins thomas!!

bearweasel are london-based duo dean muhsin and louisa page, a pair who in less than a year have a string of singles and remixes for some of the best labels around including 8-bit, tsuba, supernature, perc trax and murmur. the >sorry for nothing ep< is build around two original recordings, >risk< and >many more< and also features a remix from moon harbours dan drastic. first out of the gate is the original of >risk<, a track built around a shuffling percussion led groove. the spacious arrangement, intense stabs and low-key bassline lend a depth and quality to this cut that make it truly sublime. simple, understated yet devastatingly effective. next up, dan drastic reworks >risk<, turning in a remix that stays true to the original whilst imprinting things with his own sound. the drums are toughened up and the vibe is a little more dubbed out, providing an alternative that sits perfectly alongside bearweasels primary production

ltd backstock !!! label chief and king of nyc late night mythology, francois k returns with a bit of his patented deep space madness. starting with a tempo reminiscent of a 45 played at 33 1/3, a delicate plucked bell-synth bathed in a medium hall reverb leaves ethereal impressions and late night energy. as the melody drops a minor third, another enchanting counter melody joins the mix and adds a rather divine legato styling. after the lead fades out, a percussive interlude full of syncopated noise hits develops: leaving room for a break that reintroduces the main vibe and instills a sense of resolution. the flip carries a remix from quiet village, who has been starting deep space nights with positively solid performances. taking a more club-hyped approach, this rework pounds forward with a massive rumbling kick drum and an underlying noise wash. the main lead gets some serious filter and delay treatment making for a more progressive drive and a versatile dancefloor hook. tweaking things a bit at the break, the melody morphs into a sort of latin-minded groove with portamento glides, edited accents and sharper hits. still keeping the passion and charm alive, the new demise accents francoiss tasteful tune while boasting contemporary excitement
