after a long time friendship and countless over-the-top partycrashes together, we are very happy to welcome our friend and one of our fave djs, mr. jens bond on highgrade. after his vinyl debut with guido schneider on steve bugs pokerflat recordings last year this is jens bond s second record to hit the streets. jens, who managed to establish himself as one of the true top djs within the berlin house scene, delivers a 12inch which represents his musical (and spinning) style of electronic dancemusic very well - dry, compulsive grooves, a very minimal-housy structure with deep aesthetics, perfect sound design and an overall superb float between the hard and the soft, exactly what we wanted from this guy and more!

dario giuliano aka jd gives a fresh release to the partenopean underground scene. on the a-side the collaboration with tom clark from highgrade/morris audio gives light to a magnificent remix. a great debut which will bring a strong surprise

zwei rank und schlanke tracks mit der bodine-eigenen straightness. todd bodine? ja genau, der von tresor, highgrade oder morris audio. geht schön und elegant da wo s hin muss, nämlich nach vorne

two more exquisit tracks from alex krueger. after his last releases on deep in rhythm, liebe detail and dirt crew and the production of tom clarks album for highgrade, he is back with more trance techhousestuff on his own label.. 31.07.2006

the londoner billy nasty occasionally describes himself in jest as being the >dennis hopper of techno<…. as early as this january, the first collaboration between nasty and gregor tresher, the >black sorcery ep< was released on the electrix label, which is set to be followed up on datapunk with the >imperfection ep<. the ep opens with >iconic warfare< a high energy fusion of classic techno with the kind of saw tooth attack so typical of tresher s productions, and with his incantation of medial sound-warfare, nasty s vocoder voice provides a highgrade identity inducing message on the dance floor. the title song of the ep, >imperfection<, further refines this formula again in a 4:4 tempo with melancholy strings to a hedonistic anthem…

rockin berlin electrotech by sven & lars brede (highgrade) aka frequent mafia !!!

phlegmatek recordings is a new moscow/ helsinki based label run by dj zaic. the label is a platform to showcase russian producers creating highest quality dancefloor oriented deep and minimal electronic music. scsi-9 is a duo of highly respected russian electronic musicians- anton kubikov and max milutenko. well known to record buyers for releases on such labels as kompakt, force tracks, morris/ audio, trapez, tyrant, highgrade and many others, on this phlegmatek release scsi-9 ventures into deep and minimal territory. we witness a rare blend of romanticism and dance floor appeal which is characteristic for all three tracks on this ep

berlin s format b are back with their second output on highgrade. as fresh as they wanna be the notorious two bring us some of their newest and dopest trax, combining dirty drop-out jungle basses with that typical berlin techhousy style. mad programming, dark rolling basses pressed in a totally awsome matrix of dryed up rhythms and funky-as-hell drums. format b know what it takes to ride the dirty tech-machine, this is for sure

berlin minimal house hero dave dk (highgrade, television, mÜller, tresor, raum...musik and many more) delivers 2 tracks of utter funkiness with his trademark digitised yet warm ultra funk sound. 'jus suckas' starts with bouncy bass joining forces with squirts of cut-up style percussion rumbling its way before the chord stylee strings attack with added sample-vox. great groover we say. 'this is not a problem' goes more sinister and dark afterhours with rolling bass and machine style groove and which makes you wanna drop that **** before dominating synth lines hits the g-spot and you are already teleported to another level. hott

wonderful debut on highgrade by dj phage and daniel dreier.. groovy minimal funk techhouse to cook up floors everywhere !!

more than 5 years ago, the highgrade boss is back with his 3rd laylines.. tom keeps the swing sexy and presents a cool stripped down electronic techhouse record! a classic clark piece!
