>simple setup< in fact, this fine tune could have the capability of becoming a true >summer hit< – unfortunately we will release it not until september 2013. but maybe you like its loose and uplifting atmosphere anyway. christopher rau must have produced this good-humoured work with a big smile in his face. >save the energy< attentive boys and girls surely realize that we made a misspelling on the label! so what! more unlucky would be if we release a bad track. but christopher turns out in an experienced way what he knows best: relaxed deep house with a melancholic touch.>athens< what a rumbling tune! one definitively should play >athens< on a good sound system to enjoy its profound sub bass. and dear djs, please dont underrate it just because we placed it on position b2. played at the right time this track can work on the floor as well as the other ones.

after their huge hit >how never< one year ago the two friends are back on keno records with two old school influenced jacking house tracks. ghetto fusion is a real dancefloor smasher, and swaggin is more like a summer party track. if the vocals on ghetto fusion are too much for you, there is also a dub version of it

ms. smooth socal soul meets mr. nocal dirtybird swagger and they have a baby together. that baby is justin jay and at 19 years old he is already making his 3rd appearance on dirtybird. i have a feeling this is justin jays breakout record. the a-side static is at 119 bpm and will sweep you up then rip your pants off. but even when you get hit with the massive bassline, an old school anchor stays intact. waves b-side has a classic deep dirtybird feeling, with tuned 808s and a surprising melodic element showing off the sweeter side of this up and coming young gun. justin jay has more potential than anyone i have heard in a while and if he continues to play like he has been lately, he has a long dj career ahead of him as well.

allez! real tone is back with another fresh new ep, full of deep flavours from two underground rebels. as always we are focused on the highest quality and the best music, regardless of genre, regardless of style and most definitely not concerned with the latest trends.
our man at the controls for this journey into the depths of electronic music is alland byallo, a los angeles-born producer who really hit his stride while living in san franscisco. it was there where he became one of the team behind the west coast citys legendary kontrol parties, along with sammy d from pillow talk, greg bird, nikola baytala, and craig kuna. the seminal events gained all promoters worldwide notoriety and helped alland to evolve his style. he is currently residing in berlin where, of course, he has really found himself musically so consider this new ep a cocktail of west coast usa meets berlin. a product of allands melting pot upbringing, yet oh-so-cohesive and built for dancefloor workouts, as proven by his outings on labels such as liebe*detail, poker flat, dirt crew and now real tone records.

vinyl only! we have a new release lined up from the enough! music family. there are so many words that could best describe the debut ep from plusculaar, but we prefer to simply say that this release is simply exceptional, we are in love with this sound! two tracks stai jos and romance are both full of passion and soul, detailed arrangements full of magic and expression, there is nothing ordinary about these, they are simply wonderful! for the remixes we have contribution from dana ruh and eveline fink, each providing their own personal touch, a fusion of techno and dub, well structured and subtle. each little hit, melody and percussion groove fits perfectly and is well matched and balanced in these two mixes. once you listen, you will understand straight away and all night long!

the next vinyl-only release on candela rising is a 3 track ep from irish duo dara smith & ian mcdonnell, a.k.a lakker. all topped off with a remix of the title track by us born and birmingham based dj skirt. after a string of extremely successful releases on blueprint, killekill and an early 2013 release in the shape of a remix for stroboscopic artefacts, lakker are back and showing more range than ever before. coal bath is a real frankensteins monster of a track, a techno/garage hybrid with haunting vocals hiding through the middle and broken beats that hit hard. skirts remix takes coal bath and lays down some heavy demented bass, chops up the middle and grooves things up. all of which leaves a remix ready for the bunker or warehouse. on the flip, rsspstp is a heavy hitter. distorted bangs set the pace for this one, which evolves into a prime example of the attention to detail lakker are so famed for. machine music at its best. the final track on the ep, brood, is dark and dense, full of cold atmosphere, sub-low beats and distant, distorted drones. techno for the darkest floors ...

betsy just stood there with her mouth wide open. those two guys where fencing each other up and down the stairway. they took 20 steps, back to back, then they turned around, smoothly from the hip, firing magazines at each other. then 10 steps and then 5, both where still standing. they beat each other to a pulp until the blood came out and then until no blood came out and still none of them hit the ground. betsy did not dare to move, even when the duelists finally went away in opposite directions she still stood there like a curtain rod. she cautiously moved her eyes to the left, cautiously meved her eyes to the right, everything seemed to be safe. then there was this flicker of light in betsys sunglasses. they came back.

hat barrington levy seinen charakteristischen ohoho molldreiklang in absteigender tonfolge eigentlich jemals als markenzeichen schützen lassen? der reggae-saenger ist mit dieser stimmlichen signatur jedenfalls auf anhieb zu erkennen, nicht zuletzt, weil er von diesem gesangs-jingle ausgiebigen gebrauch gemacht hat. am legendärsten natuerlich auf seinem dancehall-hit here i come, mit dem diese werkschau seiner fruehen karriere von 1979-84 gewissermaßen abschließt. zu beginn war er uebrigens noch zarte 15 jahre jung und hatte mit songs wie shine eye gal schon ordentlich vorgelegt. ein zu unrecht vernachlaessigter klassiker. >d:bug<
