the legendary freakazoids return to the 808 to bring back their own slice of electro funk. the freakazoids is the brainchild of lee coombs, nick slater and lanx (later two both of shades of rhythm fame) who came together through their love of old skool electro funk and hip hop and released a string of underground records in the late nineties. after a ten year break and working on other projects the boys have decided to collaborate again and bring back the funk.
>freakazoid experiments< is a brand new track that delivers the old skool electro boogie with a modern twist.
>what is a dj 2012< is a new remake if one of their biggest tracks also aimed squarely at the dancefloor.
oh yeah, dont forget your kangol bucket...

kresy should not be a stranger for those who have been following hivern for the last couple of years. real name alejandro rodriguez,this young producer from asturias landed in the label with many man (incl in hivern a lestiu ii), a track that wisely matched deep-house dynamics with hip-hop vocals to become a quite unexpected underground floor-burner, getting regular plays by the likes of four tet or john talabot. now, were thrilled to introduce you lords of percussion his first fully own release on the label and first-ever vinyl output.

second release in 2012 is pirupas hard rocking debut on desolat. his party non stop is not only a trip down memory lane crossing paths of hip house as vocal version and early ravish bleep sounds as instrumental. its first and foremost a house sound of now - with attitude. dj qu, the man behind strength music, rounds up the ep with a healthy dose of drama with his epic raw remix.

the albums >nouvelle chair< and >echantillodrome< established lilea narrative as a mainstay of electro hip hop in france. lilea narrative now hammers it home with new ep >feline boulevard<. by dint of the experience gained playing live at over 100 concerts in europe, and after sharing the spotlight with rjd2, antipop consortiun, buck 65, brother ali and roots manuva, the artist has sharpened his style.

coinciding with a hot new video and an upcoming album re-release courtesy of island records, turbo weighs in with heavyweight remix support from label bossmaster tiga and russian rave-czar proxy.
tigas mix gets reckless with your ears with a versatile after-hours jam. it packs a bassy punch but keeps its head down in the lifestyle k-hole, exercising restraint while showing off a mature and developed sexuality.
proxy turns in a bumping, hip-hop influenced mix, with old-skool cowbells, crushed claps and a sh-101 lead guaranteed to make heads bob til they cant bob no more. this is probably the only time azari & iii will ever be used to start a mosh, at least until society does some much-needed growing up.

the opening hits of the percussion stay smooth and relaxed, and the instruments come in one-by-one – first the synth, then the strings, then the brass – to create an experience thats both engaging and relaxing. this is the sort of music i would listen to if i cruised the streets of san francisco in the evenings. as >back to the bay< wraps up and pulls us into his remix of >screw up<, we get a dose of subscapes intensity, but its quickly pulled back into matty gs signature low-bass, hip-hop/dubstep fusion beats. >jam like a tek< adds in some vocal hooks to get the crowd chanting – and you are missing out if you dont add this into your mix. deep kick drums, a snappy snare, big distortion on the scratchy bass wobbles, and the vocals all come together perfectly to create a track thatll get people grinding like mad on the dancefloor.

glasgows taz buckfaster - or just taz - was one of rwinas earliest discoveries.his two eps on rwina have leaned towards the dubstep side of things,imbuing them with the playful hip-hop inspired mischief that remains the rwina trademark, playing with dub skank on kingston bridge and sending off firecrackers of concentrated synth melody in nearly uncontrollable bursts on 20 red. he now makes a welcome return to the label at the end of 2011 with the neurotica ep with four brand new tracks of uncompromising glaswegian heat.

the man whos seen it all, thats terranovas fetisch, but he had it coming. as punks earliest and certainly youngest adopter, he strolled through late 1970s berlin, then moved to new york researching the first symptoms of hip hop, only to find himself being a many clubs resident dj in london at the end of the eighties. enters terranova, shrouded in mystery from the very beginning, fetisch‘s go-to project, that he originally conceived in 1996 to explore new club territory, and that has since built its very own cult following. kompakt truly feels honored to be the new home to an artist with such a rich background in club culture, especially as terranovas latest incarnation includes berlins house staple and boywonder &me as well as guest singer khan in his preferred role as the longest running hype in the history of underground awesomeness. consequently, it is with great poise that the trio‘s latest 12inch >so strong< commands its army of listeners to the floor, not unlike terranovas first outing on kompakt, the confidently named i want to go out. both the title track and epic flipside boogie for the dollar make up for a double headliner that takes you on a beguiling trip to the dark side of the club. no only do terranovas sequencing and beat programming deliver in spades, the package also sports some of the best vocals khan has churned out to date, featuring his trademark fusion of cool indifference and pure sleaze: >i give myself up to your splendor... so strong.<

uncanny the label that took everyone by surprise comes with more goodness! the third artist-ep by dresden-based label comes from house- and hip hop-mastermind cuthead and is nothing less than a proper power package. with vibratin things start off as deep as the bottom of the sea. underneath cutheads dense drums there is an intense and meditating synth line which is eventually complimented by an acid figure as if it was an evil twin. brother rolls in with a mighty kick drum, before a catchy sample and not less catchy piano motives prepare for a propitiating end. with transgressions and its bass line for the bigger floors things get down to house business once again. the remaining two tracks then give an impression of what happens, if cuthead takes to the mpc for his liveset. in seram lembah und heartless cuthead combines his drumming with south east asian disco-mantras und bittersweet blues chants to heavy hip-hop-grooves. loving it!

breaking onto the scene via a series of anonymous 12inch, it was after garnering reverence as a big name producer in disguise that cottam was unveiled to be the humble newcomer paul cottam. rising through the early rave scene in his hometown of preston, he first cut his teeth as a dj warming up for the likes of surgeon, dave clarke and regis. despite his techno upbringing, it was the slo-mo tempos of mark e and the revenge that inspired cottam to produce his own brand of dusty soul and hip hop-grounded house. however, in april cottam returned to his roots with >sunrise sunset< on use of weapons, sinking a rave core down to his signature slung bpm. it is a journey into sub-aquatic acid house that began with a series of remixes for luv jam, pattern select and morning factory, and one that he continues to explore on his aus music debut. aptly titled >deep deep down< sculpts the feeling of acid techno into warm slo-mo house. ukrainian producer vakula takes the track off on another tangent entirely, stripping away its propulsive chugging heartbeat and replacing it with an off-kilter, spaced-out pulse reminiscent of theo parrish when he s in that kind groove. on the flip, >twang< is a return to cottam s brand of languid, soulful house, steeped with groove destined to incite the dancefloor shuffle.
