alex tb and lukas are the most famous hard techno djs from brasil. technopride, beast, cardiac arrest, around the world, animasola, cannibal and hardwork are just a few of the labels they have been releasing on lately. probably the most sought after and booked djs from brasil now with their split ep on domestic violence. hard!

the >captain deutschland serie continues on the vinyl only format and is limited to 300 copies, all hand numbered.
dandy jack is well known for his multiple collaborations. its now about time to lay them down on wax.
the second chapter is a honest, loud and direct ode to the joy of queen bass. if you are searching for deep house and abstract minimal you should better pass your way.
dandy jack teams up with geneva fellows lad and quenum on the a side for what could be described as a tremendous and heavy ride into the catacombs of techno. sonja moonear has a slightly happier and smoother answer on the b side and challenges us with a long and percussive intro that leads into a melancholic twist. quenum and lad arent new to the electronic music and have been active over a decade. they have already been working together for labels like num and thema. sonja is dandys partner in crime as junction sm and ruta5s half head.

toolroom records ibiza 2010 volume 2 arrives with exclusive tracks written specifically for the second album. pulling out all the stops, toolroom have roped in the biggest artists around today for some seriously upfront tracks from the likes of d.ramirez with his jumping 8 bit trumpit , funkagenda & michael woods with their euphoric alchemy , harry choo choo romero s superb 80 degrees as well as koen groeveneld & addy van der zwans saxtastic slats!

bergerac is the new record label set up by uk producer and dj red rack’em (aka danny berman) to showcase the more dancefloor end of his music productions. danny is well known for his wonky disco outings as hot coins on tirk and also his deep as hell beatdown house on untracked. his style of production and djing have recently taken a slightly more banging angle due to the influence of larger scale festival gigs such as glastonbury, snowbombing and the big chill. so it seemed like the perfect time to start a label focussing on house and techno for the more discerning dancefloor. the label artwork will feature bespoke illustrations from german artist silke eiselt of all the houses danny has lived in chronologically. how much more fucking house can you get than that? how i program is a raw, heads down, whacked out banger, which straddles the wafer thin divide between house and techno with aplomb. with a massive loud donking bass noise, seedy late night atmosphere and danny shouting about how he programs his shit - this is some freaky deaky peak time business. next up is bonn, a warm crackly rhodes driven halcyon house moment, which evokes the slightly majestic and nostalgic vibe of people dancing alone together in a hot room at the end of the night. cheering sourced directly from bonn in 1982 mixes with naive keywork and distant female chants the first bergerac ep closes with it happens to us all, which could be an ode to prematurely greying men, the onset of senility or occasional farting in public places. its definitely a prime slice of wrong house with some seriously french hi hats and dubbed out bassline action though. yes, its more syncopated than an exploding castanet factory but thats how we like that kind of funk

limited to 300 copies on yellow vinyl!
remixes of tracks from anthony collins >dreaming of running ep<, which came out end of last year.
nina kraviz from moscow must be without a doubt the hottest producer of the moment, after her work on underground quality and rekids. she gives her own personal touch to another lonely night. get prepared to hear a lot more of her in the future!

mixing uplifting disco piano, slamming breakbeats, electro-synth, funky rhodes, and pop vocals to create a catchy sound chopped up inna hiphop style - familiar to anybody and outstanding at the same time.

raised in the parisian suburb with a background of multiple genres throughout her life : from rock and new-wave to electronic music such as synth-pop, minimal techno, jungle, house, disco and 90s hip hop, malilones productions have helped express her influences and incorporate her emotion into the dubstep tempo we all love. malilone production has seen support from producers like matt-u, von d and bunzero as well as featuring in numerous dj gigs from paris to berlin.

until now duffstep has hidden in the seedy undergrowth of london always in disguise, clandestine and covert, ever plotting his imminent escape. this bid for freedom then, is called >getting to sirius<. sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, in ancient greek times sirius was said to mark the beginning of summer, where women became aroused and men became weak. duffsteps debut album >getting to sirius< is a blend of dub influenced, down tempo beats winding through layers of melody, synths and vocals softening the blow and giving a nice, warm and fuzzy edge to the thick slabs of sonic concrete. though you dont have to wait long before a nice big bass-line knocks you down on your arse again.

a twinkle, a spark, and there you have it. many will say they saw it coming. at some point you could no longer ignore the signs, and actually youd suspected it all along: glamour is back in the club. berlin has become what new york was in 1981 and aÚrea negrot is the eartha kitt of the post-techno age. as part of hercules & love affair, perhaps the most enigmatic disco-ball band of the present day, the venezuelan disco diva has tackled issues of gender code through a four-four discourse and convinced the world that a slick performance under a strobe light can outdo than anything that has appeared in the light of day. now - as a taste of whats to come on her album next year - she is releasing her first ep on bpitch...

alan abrahams is portable and this is his second 12inch for perlon. a pretaste of his forthcoming album, expected sometime in 2011 through this channel. after spending some time in london and berlin, alan recently moved to lisbon, where he continuously works on his very own definition of house. while the a-side, life magically is a stripped down mental monster, the b-side offers the perfect love song entitled >find me<.its all about soul and if you have the chance, we highly recommend portables current live show, its a trip!

originally recorded between 1974 and 1978 at industrial records studio in london >the space between< album was first released as a 90 minute cassette in 1980 on throbbing gristles industrial records label. it wasnt until 1991 that it was again released by mute records on cd. although tracks from >the space between< have appeared on numerous compilations since its release, the album has never been available on vinyl until now.

piemont have worked for the last months on the aspect of leaving the trail of minimal by injecting a stronger and more noticeable note of soul, without becoming one of those adult house guys who sound as if they skipped teenage nihilism in favour for a perfect sound.&#8232,,so please listen to chair or throne with its irresistible vocal snippet-collage, where three different sources of vocals clash with each other in a funky way... creating madness and deepness. this is a a techno house stormer for peak time moments!

metalheadz veterans & man of the moment s.p.y combined to devastating effect. first up we have >legion< which takes us back to 2000 with total sciences beats and bass line and classic ragga sample. before we re bought right back up to date with >ploc monster< and its growling bass line and skanking beats. release of the year so far!

introducing magic wire recordings….. new label from werkdiscs artist lone (aka matt cutler). with this debut 2 track 10 inch from the man himself we are graced with two slabs of nostalgic neu haus and early 90s hardcore, some what of a departure from the dreamy, hazed out hip hop of his albums >ecstasy & friends< and the now classic >lemurian<. >pineapple crush< hits us with old skool 4/4 808s and heavy rave stabs, all drenched in his own unique melodic style. this is music that will destroy the club but will also soundtrack hazy afternoon parties in the sun. gorgeous but heavy and already being cained by the likes of glasgows luckyme crew, alexander nut, kode 9, trg, gilles peterson, joy orbison and mike paradinas. this is a huge step forward you wont have seen coming!

its not often we end up releasing four singles from an album, but with the tuneful love supreme standout track >waiting for the love< we seem to have achieved it. penned with uk based benjamin james smith, (who also delivers the snappy vocal) the track screamed single right from the start. heading up the remix package are two stomping mixes from synth-wizards, chicken lips. dean and andy keep the catchy vocal but overdrive things in the synth department. their vast armoury of sounds and accomplished arrangement makes this mix one to be really proud of.

everybody loves summer & house music, and of course so do we! these four tracks by our italian and spanish friends have already been hammered on various open air floors by the usual suspects, and especially marco effe s track chesley had people running up into the dj-booth trying to find out what it is. well, today we finally have the answer.

ig room ibiza vibes abound on this killer ep from solead, the parisian duo who have provided metroline with some of the labels most outstanding releases. in musica, tumbling beats and a melange of cuban pianos, horns and flutes play over a very robust rhythms to create an atmospheric big room builder.

o.ton is still growing up! we have finally managed to get two hottest french producers, mik izif and funny ox, for this new and exclusive release on o.ton records. >run< is simply made to drive a dancefloor mad, with its lfo bassline and these steady climatic harmony loops behind. the flipside belongs to funny ox: a great and groovy remix of >run< with all it needs to keep a crowd pleased and aware. o.ton 04 is the perfect minimal techno record! but what else would you expect ... enjoy!

the original track, which has some 80ies influences together with 2 more techno-orientated remixes of top-notch artists christian smith and angstrom & aalberg make this release a must-have!

following on from his critically acclaimed third album basho basho, kidkanevil is back with a selection of remixes from his forthcoming basho basho remixed album. first up is a long-time friend of fw in the shape of eliphino. he provides a stunning sub-heavy mix of >the floating world<, fans of floating points, joy orbison & bukem need to check this out. next up is manchesters illum sphere, fresh from the release of his titan ep on martyns 3024 imprint (becoming only the second producer aside from 2562 to have a solo 12 inch on the label). his rebounce of >when doves bounce< does exactly that, adding spooky electronics and tougher drums to the original.

the something vinyl series continues this time with seductive house tunes and deep moments for the dancefloor and places beyond. five tracks and four bonus loops makes this the next typical warm vibrating something record, you have probably already expected. as the title suggests, its not a perfect clean and faultless production. there is the dirt and a sound inhabitant, for what stl records are well known for. experimentations in the worlds of hardware based tone generators and at the limits of analog signal processors. the tracks also deliberately dispense much static computer arrangements and were recorded mostly in live sessions to capture the actual feeling for each song. every being is a universe of its own, with all it s known and unknown places. there are mistakes and inner strangers which are made to learn and grow. this record is a recent snapshot from someones life, where the love for music and sound is maybe the most beautiful mystery!

phonica records limited offshoot returns with a second 12 inch from the man that kickstarted the label iori. the okinawan producer, whose >galaxy / urge< 12 inch won praise from across the board, has been working prolifically and this is only a brief glimpse of things to come. first up is >spatiotemporal< - a ten and a half techno odyssey towards the deeper echelons of the genre. starting off as a simple drum attern, >spatiotemporal< slowly but steadily builds up, with iori bringing layer after layer of synths proper mid-paced cosmic techno!! its definitely one of those tracks that need to be left to do their work preferably on a loud soundsystem! on the flip, weve secured the remix talents of one of the hottest names in techno at the moment. all the way from cold sweden, skudge have made quite a name for themselves in the last year, with solid releases on their own imprint. their remix of >grit< more than exceeded our expectations. its a masterpiece of stripped down techno that brings to the fore all the parts we like from the original, while taking it in a completely different direction. special artwork by pedro carvalho de almeida.

kevin m. kennedy aka fbk is escaping. escaping from the everyday struggles of life in columbus, ohio, usa. one of his escape routes is his music and when you listen to his tracks you can feel why. his music is emotional to the core, no matter if its powerful and heavily funky techno such as >flying hybrids< or dark and sinister straight electro like >chosen path<. every single sound and rhythm is pure fbk and will cause a frenzy on the dancefloor. having released on shakes frictional label as fbk and on detroit based label xplor as the sleep engineer, kevin is not a newbie in the techno circus. diametric. is proud to release the first new record from the expert escapist since 1997. why he remained below the radar for so many years is a mystery. fbk will have further upcoming releases on frictional soon. no digital distribution. limited to 320 handnumbered copies. save the vinyl.

emanating from japan, and discovered by eric d (of rub n tug fame). these re-edit masterclasses would never have gotten outside of their native market. luckily a helping hand from one of nycs most hyped party throwers has guaranteed a wider audience! all the combis so far have sold out in a matter of days and are now exchanging hands for silly money. this release has another glorious duo of obscure but super high quality dancefloor friendly edits. the price is a little more than we d usually like to charge, but if it wasnt for us, you d be buying these as japanese imports!

massive decks.de tipp!!! this is going to be one of the big summerbombs this year ! guido schneider & jens bond sticked together for this production. they created a driving techhouse tune, wich keeps you on the dancefloor because of its fabulous mixture of groove and hypnotic vocals. on the flip, we have a tiefschwarz remix, which is more into minimal. they created a new feeling by changing the vocals into something different and reducing the beats.

>the voices< is the debut 12 inch from bobby and annie. drawing on their experiences as residents at the mint club, uk, the pair have crafted a versatile ep that sits as comfortably in a peak time set as it does on a hazy 6am dance floor. taken from a collection of vocal out-takes the voices have been cleverly obscured through various production techniques and layered around drums and old school analogue synth lines to unique effect. the results are two haunting, hypnotic, yet upbeat dj tools. the title track, >voices<, uses deftly interwoven vocal samples as the focus and driving hook. shuffled percussion takes a back seat amidst a discordant, attention-grabbing synth interlude that harks back to the playful garage sound of90s chicago house. the outcome is dramatic, intense and functional. on the b-side, >loose ends<, is a more rugged affair that gives the bass and drums centre stage. the vocals are pitched and trippily float in and out of the track whilst the familiar sound of fairlight stabs punctuate the groove. the effect is eerie, yet accessible, and rounds off this stunning ep.

the west coast series continues... after the huge hasbeens release its sumerian fleet with a amazing 5 track ep full of big dark wave inspired tracks. the perfect sound track for a movie such as irreversible. scary, haunting and dirty! do we hear some influences of the cure? liaisons dangereuses? adult? front 242? john fox? by far the most inspiring electro release we have heard in a while with its crazy industrial drive and dirty machine funk and robotic synths. btw check out that last track blech erkrankung... that track alone is worth buying this record! big.

hey today! are the phenomenal groundbreaking production, dj and live duo raik krause and robert nickel who share studio rooms with digitalism in a hamburg based world war ii bunker.
hey today! have tweaked various legendary tunes on hipster labels such as kitsune (paris), bang gang (sydney) and on tigas canadian label turbo, followed by strong remixes for people like boys noize, zombie nation, tiga, empire of the sun, digitalism, shazam, moonbootica and others.
the current single >strange< is continuing the story of the previous success with the - as edbanger busy p described it - lfo meets herbie hancock sounding single >talk to me< which was released on turbo and became one of the biggest tunes of 2010.
>strange< has now been signed to dr. lektroluvs label and will definitely become a very big tune too. the single will be released with strong remixes by boris dlugosch (who recently released the amazing >bangkok< on erol alkans label phantasy music), polymorphic (from proxys label mako) and gomma records labelhead munk (remember >la musica<!). for sure an amazing package!!

new kanada is honored to have the awesome murr (aka nicholas murray) take the reins on the next release. dusty drums, worn-out pads and a deep respect for the early beatsmiths, nick always creates an atmosphere in his tracks that is definitely not the flavor of the month - but rather the taste of the year. on the a-side, >noise in< is a tough dusty jacker, that builds from a tight dub intoa shimmering melodic bomb. feels like early transmat, late gherkin, or an americanized lfo. shuffle, simmer, and slam. the second cut on the a-side, >broken glass<, is a slamming ode to the sp1200. beats swung hard, percussion rattling the kilter way off, and a suffocating groove. watch out - the shards are sharp. on the b-side, marshall reshapes the original >noise in< into a brutal example of a tough mixing tool. heavy, pulsing basslines and an incessant jack groove. this one should move the floor. red, yellow and orange. rockit!

a satin latin mix, featuring 11 non-stop minutes of the finest high energy dance music! (same mix on both sides)

we at m=minimal are proud to have >conrad schnitzlers – zug< as first release. schnitzlers zug is one of the most important and first electronic minimalist works that were published in the 70s. almost simultaneously with the kraftwerks groundbreaking >autobahn< zug appeared on the legendary >the red cassette<. the wire magazine wrote about zug: kraftwerk might have used similar methods to create rhythm<!
