labelowner david penn teamed up with camilo franco for a fine balearic groove tune with nice percussions and chords

infekto (aka rico tubbs) has been turning heads on the funkier floors across the world with his signature sound of heavy, polished beats alongside party rockin bass and catchy hooks a plenty. funky music carries a similar tone to ghetto soul, miami treble, and his last money shot outing, the real funk. funky music also pays tribute to one of our favourite instruments of all time the cowbell. cuz every tune could use a little more cowbell

repeat orchestra (aka stefan schwander aka antonelli electr., rhythm maker, one half of the duo swimmingpool as well as being behind >a rocket in dub<) returns with another 12inch in his purest form of his electronic soul, based around live-performances, orchestral instrumentations and deep house. in a post-modern manner, the >asafa chords ep< operates differently as opposed to the standard sampling clichès of standard house-tunes that we hear on each and every street corner these days. the two pieces follow a minimal yet above the norm musical approach, with tricky and advanced rhythms and a strong groove that lets the listener dive deeper into the world of a one-man-band, who likes to express his version of afro-futuristic housemusic by bringing deep chords, live-played strings and lots more of his personal flavour into his production. . the result is a warm and wonderfully musical expression on the dancefloor that will guaranteed stand out from the rest.

the members of my my met and became friends through common interests in music, but it wasnt until they ended up as neighbours in berlins mitte, that a lifestyle of committed partying, cake baking and long studio sessions lead to their debut release on playhouse >klatta< in early 2005. it was the result of previously downtempo producer lee jones (hefner) working and partying with local berlin djs nick höppner and carsten kleeman, who are residents respectively at panorama bar and watergate. following up their recent fantastic 12inch on circus company butterflies & zebras is beautifully tripped-out expansive ambient house, summer after-hours here we come! recorded live with nick and lee layering fx over the organic percussion as the mix develops. an acid infused bassline is slowly opened out as layers of lush strings and shimmering pads are teased into the arrangement. on moneybowl the boys show the more jacking side of my my. taught and lean with a groove that keeps on evolving, while weird and wonderful bleeps and clicks bounce around the mix. for the remix, john dahlbäck twists the pads from the original and adds his own synth stabs. then pulls out a bassline and arrangement that jumps straight onto the dancefloor

electro breaks with funky synths & sc-fi sounds !!

the sweetversion of let’s get down is based on a basic spanish guitarmelody with uplifting vocals and funky hihats. the funky guitar even gets a little outof tone sometimes, to give that real 12 inch feeling to it. the low bassline combined with the stabbing kick delivers a groovy summerfeeling to the track.the original mix is a powerful clubrecord with an electro twist. especially the fatchunky bassline puts the dance floor to work.the groove remix started out as a experimental version of lets getdown but the vocals were so catchy, playectra decided to produce a more groovy version of it. the rawsounding guitar and crushedhihats makes the track loose his sweetness to give the track a stronger and energetic feel. the long break in the middle of the track pushes the track to a climax. the filtered guitars and loud bassline makes the track a little bit french sounding
