prime numbers highlight the most hyped trus me track from his >treat me right< album released earlier this year. somebody is an insistent, throbbing production championed by many a dj in 2013 including daniel bell, mcde, deetron, ben klock, bicep, nina kraviz & guy gerber. hypnotic acid bass pulses under shifting cymbals & claps with jacked-up, penetrating snare breakdowns. simple, classic & effective. following his recent excursion on the ann aimee imprint mosca remixes for the flip. dropping the tempo he indulges in a burning bass heavy affair, stripping the minimal original even further back & subtly crafting the parts to create a spacious, heads-down groove. a masterful rework indeed.

ltd repress !!! another main player of the current elite of deephouse producers makes an anonymous but definitely not impersonal appearance on the ever great story imprint. right from the beginning of >fascinated< we get slowely woven into a maze by the spellbinding introduction of a sultry soulstress and when the eeriy string, gentle harp sweeps and a swinging yet almost coy beat fall in it only adds to the feeling of hazy, latenight intimacy. >taj mahal< has a more robust, earthy beat with tabla and deep twangy sitar sounds panning around, making you see all these groovy colors and feel like you are lifted above ground and even >you better find a job< - despite its title - doesnt even try to pull you back to earth and into dull reality. its warm pulsating bass, psychedelic feedback and flanger sounds much rather urge you to flip that record over again and stay in the groove

in the long line of belgian talent finding a home on wph (think san soda, lemakuhlar, metrobox, locked groove, …) we are pretty sure that kiani & his legion (aka thomas neyens) will claim his rightful place within a couple releases. because just like the other family members kiani has his very own distinct sound. totally kiani and also totally wph. kiani & his legion should have already caught your attention with his free *records & culture* vinyl in wphs v.i.p. series and he was also responsible for *legions of the east* on the recent wph summer special 2013. being a vinyl lover himself it seemed fitting that we release his full e.p. debut on vinyl only (grey coloured & marbled), containing four tracks that will show you the full spectrum of his house music universe. the key words in that universe are melody, breakdowns, surprise and emotion. it is pointless to describe the tracks one by one, simply listen, enjoy and most of all…dance!

bodyjack - a rough-ass bassline track with classic dance mania & relief style beats - it was originally passed onto five djs only: jackmaster, paul woolford, dave clarke, l-vis1990 & rolando all caned it. dancefloor reactions proving the track was a big underground joint. flip over for >i wanna be<: a twisted garage carnival workout. huxley dropped this immediately at we love at space in ibiza and it took off from there, and both tracks have been going off even having repeated plays on radio 1 and rinse fm.

the first vinyl record from betagamma bears the name of the most extraordinary and fascinating reptile. it is no coincidence. the imprint is given by both betagammas main occupation and his love of minimalism and techno. either way, the track references science. a slightly oddish, popping groove as if someone opened up a terrarium cage. the record features interesting and crazy remixes, clearly everyone has their own geckos in the attic.

nobody knows where these guys were beforehand, but this record is a real hit. a new release has emerged from an equally new label - detroit techno archive it reflects the labels name perfectly. the 12inch recording includes six wonderful detroit techno tracks, from a couple of artists. the first associations that come to mind are detroit legends like underground resistance, derrick may, stacey pullen, kenny larkin, and octave one. youll find some old-school techno with a rich groove, multilayered melodies, and some great stories behind them. this is real hi-tech jazz.

mike okay is back on the dancefloor after a big roadtrip during the worlds largest kindergarten. his new release, called fogel, comes along in three different versions. the original, an edit from himself and a remix from the old but newborn fly motherfucker. you can take the mike versions as sure shot for good vibriations on every floor.... continoues groove and some sweet kids behind the mic are the main cheese, whats fully filled up with fat bass. when you start or end the night try to handle the fly motherfucker remix. the slower walking groove is straight right for this. mixed up with the emo synthi its just a wonderfull dreaming interpretation and perfect to fall into a moody winterdancefloordepression. so the next what! what! episode from its founder mike okay is on the run.....lets fetz!

the a1, named after the release title, is a summer techno drive, or a ride through a hot landscape in central america, as the notes of marimba suggest. the subtle but crackling low toms reverb dictates the driving tempo, while the chasing hats warn of a night which is likely to be dirty and sweaty. ready 2 glow opens with an enlightening synth note softly spreading through the air. its the after-hour call, the quietness before a new storm, which is about to boost and bring to surface the spastic contradictions of the drug-based soul liberating after-hour scene. corners goes funk, the quirky and rugged bass line lays at the core of the groove. above, we hear a multitude of spooky sounds and samples ranging from flying saucer sonic surges to playful stabs and bongo madness. the obsessive vocal echo, manipulated according to the abuse of ifferent drugs, is a clear indication of that. alza pure quanto vuoi is almost taken as it was firstly conceived during a jamming session. its twisted, swinging, it breaks the scheme of groove flowing as the tempo suddenly escapes to a faster pitch, jacked out

in the 1970s the american composer henry flynt started a series of pieces under the title >new american ethnic music<. in so doing he worked together native styles of music such as blues, country or hillbilly with electronic production methods to make something altogether new. so far in germany it has never been attempted to rework folklore electronically for a compilation. however, this picture changes if one redefines the idea of who the population is. incomers have brought new >national anthems< to germany, which means - even the portuguese fado, the african gnawa, the croatian klapa or the vietnamese quan ho are these days at home in germany. with the cultural project >heimatlieder aus deutschland< (native songs from germany) founded by former spex editor mark terkessidis and label manager jochen kühling all the various styles of traditional folk music now found in germany has been collected. thirteen of the songs recorded for the project have now been transformed by contemporary electronic producers to present a >new german ethnic music<. but why remixes? for one thing electronic music has recently focused a lot on the past (ghost music, hypnagogic pop etc.) – electronic editing is well suited to follow the effects of the immigrant music which the >imaginary national anthems< has created. furthermore the projects instigators were curious how >electronic musicians< would handle folk music and folk songs which is a hugely difficult task. to this end artists were sought out who could get along with the idea of each music style and who are known to already have experimented with the human voice. the results are as varied as the music styles and djs involved. some melodies remain completely intact while others are abstracted beyond recognition. margaret dygas associative approach ensured that she presents a polish song about a girls arranged marriage with a claustrophobic feeling. with his remix of the marrabenta of mozambique mark ernestus has continued the rhythmic experiments he is known for with jeri jeri. thomas mahmoud translated gnawa into dub and finaly ulrich schnauss turned the song of the italian chorus of >donni so< into a hymn for the horizon-expanding power of migration.hopefully this compilation will also expand some horizons.
