tadd mullinix aka james t. cotton aka j.t.c. is one of our true heroes. when we had our hands on the first records of his on spectral we immediately fell in love with his daring approach to club music. raw sketches of great ideas – not clean, not cool, but human and deficient, singular and alive. so, signing this artist for our label is a great honour to us, and we are proud to present sonic criminal to you, an ep crossing over classic detroit techno, deep house, jazz and electro. amazing!

cpu and dance musics polymath neil landstrumm share a love for classic bleep techno, hence landstrumm has brought to the table four superb reminders of the criminally short lived genre. with spine tingling melodies reminiscent of 808 state s best work, and sub-bass worthy of lfo s bass-bin shaking reputation. a death, a mexican and a mormon perfectly encapsulates not only landstrumms influences but also his deep seated love for bleep. a labour of love which the sheffield based imprint has been only all too happy to encourage and hopes will keep the genre alive for generations to come.

psq005 is furesshus follow up 12 inch release to last years trio of tracks (psq002) that garnered attention from ben klock, sigha and marcel dettmann, who continues to play out his music regularly. furesshus bleak and powerful remix of l-ow (psq003) has been criminally under appreciated, and now his second 12 inch on project squared (psq005) will showcase a more house influenced, but still techno at its core, sound with >lucid< and >all i want<.

a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come
