peter introduces himself like this, >ive started making music with an oric-1 home computer in the middle of the 80ties, later the commodore amiga was the flagship and then....the casio fz1 and now i use the galaxy of software and the korg mx1, roland tr727, roland jx8p, korg ms20, yamaha tg33, yamaha dx7 so i guess that it makes things clear, peter is one of these producers that uses older analogue machines along more recent software gears. and you can sure hear it in its productions, it sounds huge, powerful while style wise keeping things on to the soul filled part of the dance floor. peter delights us here with two stunning tracks that contain modern beats structures echoing rather old school house patterns and hooks. as always with peters incredible music, originality, surprises and ingeniosity are 100% at the rendezvous

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

spacetalk recordings present their second release, a powerful 3 track ep from veteran producer matthew puffett aka future beat alliance. future beat alliances music is warm and melodic with roots firmly implanted in detroit techno soul. his debut release for spacetalk contains some of his finest work to date, with retro synths and hints of vangelis style soundscapes weaving through the multiple musical layers and dusty vocal samples. breathe in your fear is a cool acidic detroit techno groove that has met with broad appeal amongst the select djs that have had the privilege to hear this deep gem. reverse the negative conjures up late nights at the loft with its haunting violin melody and seductive female sci fi dialogue. the ep is rounded off by the majestic contact yourself which draws from balearic, cosmic and electronica to create a melodic slo mo groove for those after hours sessions

although we are usually always excited about every release on aroma, this time we are even more excited because we have the honor to release the only 2007 lawnchair generals single of the year! when i think is as usual a true lawnchair generals sounding deep house monster that keeps surprising the dance floor. you will definitely recognize the vocals snippets used here and there and you ll be even more wetting your pants when you hear the second bass line kick after the break! aroma regulars swirl people had the pleasure of remixing this beauty and taking it into a true 80s fashion with some slick house beats and a cajual recordings kinda feel to it. a must have in your collection

alphahouse welcomes kai to the family, with the dazzling 3-track ep >gakuon< his debut release came last year on portables sud electronic label, and put him on our ones-to-watch list. now kai delivers his second ep and its a killer. with so much music in the world following the same patterns, and producers sucked into using the same cheap tricks in the studio, its refreshing to hear that some people out there are still capable of independent and abstract thought. we hope you agree. >ac< is a mutant deep techno piece equally suitable for dark club mayhem as it is for sunday brunch with the in-laws. seriously, try it out at both places and if it doesnt work the next beer is on us. >spacetravel< is exactly that. a micro-sampled ride though the cosmos. tiny vocal spurts and playful melodies surround a throbbing bassline. stripped just to the groove and not over-arranged, theres plenty of room to let your imagination roam free. >gravity< is one of those special inside tracks that we search so long and hard for. delightfully simplistic, yet incredibly groovy. its amazing how much you can do with a few well-placed sounds, isnt it?

return of the cocoon-proof techno don! some phat business from jaceks underwater lab - yet another exercise in his very own concept of combining minimal groove with maximal sound spectrum. and it works: solid mid-tempo rhythm carries what seems to be a thousand of layers of sound. meaty, bouncing bass stabs intertwine with washes of synthetic melodies, while percussion drops and unidentified samples swirl around in this bio-robotic monster of a tune. >green river< takes jaceks minimal obsession into cold outer space, where you can hear the planets spin and the only hope seems to be coming from a dying communication device... cold, stark and haunting, this is either work of a madman or truly the future now

support by adam beyer, ricardo villalobos, mark broom, mistress barbara and more !! the unstoppable mihalis safras strikes again. this time on his own label material, he strikes 2 really huge melodic tracks with his partner in crime, liberto on a transparent piece of vinyl. on the a side the king aka mark broom delivers a proper remix. when you hear this release your brain will explode

enter the hej, the first release and the launch of a unique new label via punisher and the overfiend, to produce a constant flow of fresh ideas and explore musical boundaries. this release plunges head first into the ever changing realm of techno and makes its mark. punisher delivers the first track that begins with a hypnotic melody that consumes you until the chunky bassline hits hard and you are hurled into the infectious rhythm. cyborg k presents a perfect fusion of the sickest shuffled techno and dirty electro. funky bass and smooth rotating synth stab loops that float around your eardrums while the beats work you. the breakdown hits with dirty electro bass and effected sample snippets, amazing overall production. punisher remixes cyborgs itikiti with segments from the staggered synths over chugging, thick percussion and bass that twist around the electrial hiss. versatile release from two techno veterans. enter the hej and hear what its all about

second special sampler from the music for dreams imprint here feat quality spaced out deep house tracks as you would always expect to hear on this label

been impressed by his remix on wall of sound... i loved it. i also heard he won some remix competition. like a grammy, only not a grammy. the tracks he sent were amazing... but his hair, while being orange (no bonus) was not corn-rowed. while i argued vigorously that i had worked too long and hard building up turbo to see it go all >ginger<... von party defended the duke, saying it might show how open-minded we are. when i re-listened to the tracks i decided that it was well worth the risk. so.... what you now hold in your hand is the debut on turbo of duke dumont: the mysterious bad ass from the wrong-side of the tube, the hardboiled london underground pioneer who once had to eat a sampler to survive, the future of dance music, and the past of the future of dance music

adam beyers mad eye imprint has been the quietest of his 3 in terms of its output over the last few years but it has by no means made he least impact. the 5 releases so far have had massive dj support from across the techno scene with the last release being played by a huge cross section of djs. this time adam has really turned on the style with these 2 tracks with the a side china girl being a funky killer with its grooving bassline and drum groove immediately bringing you in before the addictive wooden block melody and warped edits creating an addictive intensity that put simply - just works. hear it on a system and see the dancefloor react and youll see where were coming from

burn me up will appeal to a wide house music audience including all those catch that love stuff from jesse rose, switch and those cats, its nasty but nice! endor has been played and approved several of times by raoul belmans and is just one of those light and funky tunes that are really hard to get out of your head when you hear them. last but not least we have get down, rock it out which brings the 80s partyvibe right back at your doorstep like they were never gone

another smooth release by amplified orchestra which goes way beyond the hip disco edits we hear all the time. on this obscure chicago label (hand stamped and no further artist info) we get 3 tracks with the sublime moon voyage (based on an old cosmic disco-funk track, but completly rebuild), the incredible asteriod (reminiscent to early moodyman and rick wade. very good detroit house) and the disco-funk-soul stepper lets have a ball. nice one

in the a side, undo & vicknoise, the masterminds of the label deliver their most tense and baroque track ever. to the simple kick-snare of the beginning they add progressively a distorted and powerful bassline, and omnipresent xylophone and some sub-aquatic melodies factor city school that will give you the creeps. sistema and his other self in full-moon nights, show in >te tazas< its best-known face: dark and epic tunes with a slight taste of 90s sound. hands up for mister coromina with >dancing and confused< he delivers what will be a sure hit forgetting the sound we were used to listen in his productions alongside undo. as you hear the track and its persistent jaw-dropping bassline, the best productions of carl craig and Âme will pop up to your mind showing clear influences of the new generation house music. youll dance more than c3po in a gargantuan spin-dry machine !! supported by: laurent garnier, funk d void, kiki, the youngsters, stefan goldmann, donato dozzy, mathias kaden, sian, glimpse, jesse somfay, karotte and angel molina

after his very succesful contribution to the >collection 01< compilation of last year bristol based luke turner aka lukas returns with a full 12 release on players paradise. as his first track >gaucho< these two new burners are quality state of the art tech-house with pumping basslines and acid leads that will go right in there. we are very keen to have a new face from the uk on our label who follows the styles of labels like 2020vision and freerange. and as the summer returns we packed this release with one of the finest open air anthems you will hear this season. a first class corker by no other than one of the dirt crew boys, break 3000 takes the original >eraser< track and transforms it into an chicago piano fueled early 90’s rave track

sunset diskos presents jens lodén, he released a couple of records for dialog recordings (sonar kollektiv). anyway jens presented his version of minimal funk for us, and we fell immediately for his feeling for groove, something we lack in most so called >minimal< these days. not to be forgotten in this context: jens general background as a superb electric bass player. so what we have here is two stunning examples of straight back minimal funk, presented under the disguise as tech house.. jens presents his production in a unique style, really hard to describe or compare to other productions around , so you got to hear it for yourself..

played by dinky, karotte, trevor jackson!! these new tracks venture to the deeper, often evocative ends of techno and house. the title track fuses an percussive old school house groove with deep techno chords. so when the organ line kicks in, it gives you this very orginal emotion of timeless house. in keeping with einzelkind s unpredictable tendencies – he used to make drum n bass before he switched onto house and techno – you still can hear something of his former musical alter ego in the second track, >bonnieland<.based on a low-slung, growling bassline, the track gradually evolves to reveal a trippy sequence and lush chords, which sounds like the fusion of a detroity atmossphere with the dynamic of a drum n bass-track. a strong release, that consolidates the unique fingerprint of the two einzelkind-boys from frankfurt

>love manifesto< from mos is a cleanly produced track, with a beautiful melody which will hook you from the very first moment you hear it, trancy and hypnotic.. the remix comes from a swiss producer and dj called khainz, with this as one of his first releases under this name, but simon schwendener is certainly no new-comer to music production, with over 30 tracks already released under the name of freakulizer and his first album out in 2005, you can find him constantly touring the world. support by hernan cattananeo, satoshi tomiie, steve lawler ,john aquaviva, anthony pappa and dave mothersole
