levante is the name of a warm wind, blowing between northern africa and spain during the summer months, a warm wind that especially surfers, but also other kinds of deeply relaxed summer people appreciate a lot. as some surfers and other people require some of this feeling already before next summer, schallbox records associated with monoroom has caught some of this wind and transformed it into levante una, which is basses, waves and beats that will blow some tube-heated pre-summer frenzy through the speakers and on the dancefloors. for an even longer surfing experience and a continued boomy feeling in your knackers (hmm sorry ladies?), martin eyerer, mike wall and steve cole have got their speedoes out and dived into 45°(celsius) warm drums and samples, in order to offer to you their personal renderings of levante una. wasn t there a track once, warm surferette??

side a) soft house company – what you need… the most perfect italian piano house tune ever. this record oozes sophistication and perfection in its beautiful construction. as compared to some of the italian piano screamers of the past that have dated quite badly, this continues to live on as a classic emotive piece of house music. a perfect end of the night anthem! a little piano on the flip was regularely dropped at the classic hacienda in manchester circa 1990, huge piano anthem. junior vasquez used to mix 2 copies of this track at the legendary sound factory club in nyc! simple but effective bass with italian piano….. house!

coming from the heart of bosnia, solomun is a passionate dj who certainly knows how to please a crowd and keep the energy on the floor. equally as talented and creative in the studio, he has many releases to his name on his own label diynamic, as well as other imprints such as four:twenty, liebe*detail and dessous recordings. made for the dancefloor, his productions always have an element of funk or surprise, reminding people of the fun thats there to be had with music. as a label with many close ties to mobilee records, diynamic will be co-hosting a party at mobilees sonar 2010 celebrations, which makes it even more fitting that this release brings the two forces more closely together. solomuns next big bang, being brought to you via leena music, is a sure extension of his impeccable production skills and style, and is also one of the most unique releases you will here on the label so far. a-side >sisi< opens with a head-spinning explosion of notes and chords, being fired out like sparks in a continual loop. then half way through the record, they dramatically stop, only to soon build up again and set the roller coaster off once more. b-side >talk to the hand< is a bass-heavy and punchy track, that surprises you with euphoric piano chords in the second half, whilst b2 >curesto< brings all of the elements together with piano chords, build-ups and some drama. enjoy!

much awaited return to lost trax! scsi-av has been a well respected electro and techno label since it was born in september 2008. almost 12 years later and after a short break scsi is back with a classy detroit techno record which has been sat in the vaults for quite some time waiting patiently to be released. as the second part of the lost trax series. expect deep bass, booming 808 kicks and carl craig-esque sounding strings. the production on both sides of this record is amazing showing the digital generation that analogue kit still sounds supreme. the lost trax series is a project for producers who have inspired the label to record something special and release anonymously as we dont believe its necessary to sell music on the strength of a specific artists reputation.

supported by piemont, marco carola, chris liebing, danny tenaglia, deepchild, orde meikle / soma, igor tchkotoua (pig and dan),philip sherburne, derek plaslaiko, leo leal, axel bartsch, toni d!! this is something of a departure for our label, and one were very proud of. &#8232,,,we are happy to say jules made these 4 outstanding tracks with a lot of soul and passion. a lot of influences have lead to the making of these tracks. his uncle has a recording studio near frankfurt where jules spend endless hours, before he started to play in a soul band at the age of 13! his career as a drummer lead to a final show in berlin in the >tempodrome club< and there would be more to add, but let the music speak for itself..

>vibrational studies (in echospace)< is an alternate version of album opener >in echospace< and revolves around a relentless cycle of washed-out analogue loops layered around submerged field recordings and electric currents that somehow propel the track while at the same time immersing it in one of the headiest mixes hitchell and modell have ever recorded. >symbolism in transition< finds modell deploying a deep and padded configuration with a sort of late night shuffle so beloved of move d, all squashed house vibes, sparkling melodic currents and bursts of barely- there white noise û its a gentle, beautiful thing.

fat beats, slow bpm, funky samples and a heavy bass are the new ingredients for jefferson velazquez latest deep release. on the b-side, fueled with high octane, legendary detroit producer rick aade delivers a dancefloor friendly signature piece with strings and pads that made him world famous. as for every terpsichores record: a must have.

receiving new, original music from dave switch taylor whipped the whole your army office into a frenzy. under his solid groove moniker he has been responsible for some of the most exciting, raw, jackin house music to come out of the uk… >throwing stones< continues that fine tradition … a deep outing with heavy drums, haunting string refrain and clever vocal cuts… its great to have him back! new signing to the dubsided camp is subskrpt who first caught our attention with his dubstep remix of major lazer >cashflow< and then a blinding remix of rusko >woo boost< … he now releases his first original record custom made for the new dubsided mix compilation titled >dubsided one<.

and we are back for ep three. its a get together between master rick and young kyle. and its time to turn things up a notch. kyle hits it unbelievably hard with >after fall<. have you ever tried head banging to disco music? if not, now is the time, because this track will make you do just that. there is no denying. banger! on the b-side the godson eases down a little and lifts the classic >love & happiness< a capella to work it into a hypnotic groove. build it up! the third track sees kyle and rick teaming up, where kyle provides the drums and rick delivers the groove. a futuristic piece of jazz techno, 22nd century shit, that plays with your mind and demands you to move.

tracks with the license to drive you mad! nothing less what you can expect from this ep from germanys upcoming sven kegel aka drehkontrolle. sharp production with sound(e)scapes that are weird but straight at the same time. real hidden secret weapon for your case, thx god you have it on vinyl to listen to this nice bass!

this is a well-rounded compilation of material from various plan b recordings artists. up first is dakini9s remix of >swine<, a track originally made by spider & lola. this is a deep, minimal techno track, with squealing pigs and industrial sounds which were recorded in pig slaughter houses and have been layered throughout the track. second up is courages >mildred< track. this is one of those tracks that just makes you want to dance, period. this is from his >feast or famine ep<, which will be coming out later this year. the third track is from detroits very own bileebob (underground resistance, detroit grand pubahs), who teams up with his agriculture partner, marshallito. here we have an amazing array of driving drumbeats and chaotic synth work that blends perfectly together for an infectious, grooving dance floor banger! the final track is from dj spider: a deep house track, with a funky bass line, nice synth work and a good driving beat. this house track completes the compilation and also gives you a taste of the diversity of this labels sound.

what first started with an never-ending afterparty on a cold cold winter night, ended up in skatebards first ep for luna flicks. two vodka shots later and we have a salute to the old sounds of chicago!
