in a time before cdj loop buttons and stone-cold arrangement techniques, bonus beats and beat records were a vital tool for aspiring, working and tone-deaf djs. the third release in an unofficial beat-tracks sublabel (se redshape and todd osborn for further reference) rhythm trainx vol 1 tries to breathe new life into that lost craft with an all-star cast: manuel tur, i:cube, blank spanner, disco nihilist, Âme and radio slave. all in different bpm, varying styles and (un)fortunately a bit more than simple kick-drum-hi-hat patterns. built to last.

analog old school house

its remix time! as both these versions are slightly longer than the original versions on the 7inch we decided size up to a 10inch.

defaultbox strikes again. the black cube ep by patrick brøsin is armed with four substantial techno tracks including one remix. this time we could inspire tresor resident krenzlin and diego hostettler the head of belief system records. the collaboration between them is probably unknown for most of the people, but releases on nachtstrom schallplatten or affin ltd by krenzlin as well as on kanzleramt or u-turn by diego hostettler speak for themselves.

dark dub techno by chris manura. dirtydrivesounds is back with its second vinyl – including mac-kee and sven tasnadi (pokerflat,katermukke) remixes.

usually, the purpose of a piece like this is to tell other writers, music mag editors, distribution people and record shop clerks why they should like a certain release and buy, hype, review it. often these encomiums are not really honest and sometimes you even feel like attending an attempt to sell a flat tire. as for i:cubes new longplayer m megamix things are – of course! – very different. being its fifth solo album, an introduction of a man like nicolas chaix or even his biography (another popular brick of sales sheets) seems rather unsuitable. if you dont know what you should know, just use your internet search engine with any of these terms: chateau flight, versatile records, french touch, disco cubizm or parisian prodigy.

the wind up of phillip lauers album debut phillips (still available in all formats including gatefold double vinyl) is in the hands of nyc remix/production outfit runaway and versatiles very own i:cube. runaway do their best to turn tentatious into one of those early morning deep house dubs that you could find on the b-side on vintage designer labels of their hometown. music for baby powdered wooden floors. i:cube does the opposite and manufactures a bumper car boogie beat that also works as a uk rave dub. he likes to move it. on the flip, lauer himself turns in the hidden album track boringtone - his very own secret ode to the café del mar - and the super exclusive smashing pumpkin that is highdimes 100percent overground melodies

following the >lucifer en discotheque< e.p, i:cube delivers a new 12 inch containing longer dj friendly versions of > y.o.u.r.o.c.k<, > popular electronics<, and >in alpha< .... already played by cassy (perlon)!!!

the prism is an aluminum cube, small enough to fit in your palm. it was designed by nicolas jaar as a new medium for releasing music. the first release - csa001 - features twelve (mostly) unreleased songs from jaar and other clown & sunset collaborators. the prism is a piece of art in and of itself, its contents beg to be shared. twin headphone outlets encourage connections to the object and between the two listeners. the prism tries to restore physicality to the listening experience. the medium and the method are as important as the music itself. the prism makes you consider how the music is being heard, the way the object feels in your hands, and its potential to foster intimacy between listeners. when the prism is unplugged, a beam of light passes through the empty center, revealing a void. someone is missing.

nice price deal !!!

french house legend i:cube ( at peace ) and berlin based producer mark august ( the sandbox ), have created two, quite outrageously brilliant masterpieces.

massive support by : josh wink, dj koze, osunlade, dixon, pilooski, charles webster, deetron...

another fresh release from nublu. on the a side, in flagranti adds their own signature disco funk sound using a very catchy saxophone hook, making this a killer remix that is sure to light up the dancefloor. on the flip, i:cube delivers a classic deep cosmic techno remix. the 12 inch also includes two original tracks by the trio (whose bass player who also plays with sun ra arkestra) that encompasses jazz, indie and dance all at once, a sound that nublu is known for. the music is taken from the bands latest album release >peace now<.

its been a while since i:cube hasnt deliver some fresh cuts! was he lost in a software??? hes back (a new album is also scheduled) to his early naive, deep and twisted spirit, but with a super tight modern production... falling is a sleazy funk track, a slow burner, which contains all the elements who made i:cube one of the most respected and innovative producers around since more than a decade!! heavy groove, hypno bassline, references to the early disco-dub music. un dimanche sans fin (neverending sunday) was done (as its name says) a sunday night, one shot, at the versatile studio. cube reconnects with his seminal dub-techno love, a track full of space and emotion. i would describe operation hypnosis as sheffield house. a solid beat and some bleeps will bring the dancer into a mental spiral...

2002 classic by german house guru ian pooley!!

classic chicago vocal house

1998 classic by gerhard potuznik & hans platzgumer aka cube & sphere!

played by patrick lindsey, wehhba, ko kimura, pablo bolivar, ...
a1) nop, the tokyo wunderkid of japanese house music, delivers a percussive and groovy remix of the title track >el cubo< (the cube), which has already been getting plenty of pre-release airplay during his sets at the famous ageha club. a2) dich himself goes for a more funky house style with minimalistic influences and top notch production. b1) >lovely lady< - a slightly more up-tempo piece of minimal tech-house that draws heavily on latin influences and even reggae to slowly build into a solid house groove full of dub like reverbs and delays. b2) final track >el camino del inca< is pure modern deep, minimal-tech with splashes of dub. from the long droning synth to the noise and ambience this is exactly what you’d expect richie hawtin to drop these days.

complicated funk mix!

great minispeaker size 2.6x2.6x2.6 cm - audio keychain

direct from san francisco via beautiful marseille, france - iot recordings delivers 3 tracks of twisted dancefloor mayhem with the 3 step behind the cube release. always a master of taking sounds and tweaking them to an original shape, audiovoids aggressive beats mashed with beautiful melodies and hacked up layers of sound remind us that music can rock the body as well as the mind! softbluecubes is one of our favorite tracks from lindsey, here he gives it to us at 2 tempos, hes got a sound of his own and it is here to stay! funny ox rounds out the release with a breakbeat/dubstep hybrid - an original banger that progresses through hacked dubstep riddims to funky booty bouncing - blended together with all the right glitches and bass to push our buttons!

friends and studio partners will saul & tam cooper are back collaborating on simple for 2009.

nice little number by the cube guys!! includes nice clubby dj katta and electro nature mixes!

there is certainly not enough space to tell you all the great things about move d we would love to share with you. being the musical mind behind the legendary source records imprint, david moufang has always been a versatile and prolific character. from ambient soundscapes to krautrocky epics, jazz sensibilities or straight up techno and house, he has done it all with his own special and unique touch. this lovely fingerprint is spread all over the “cube ep . intended as a tribute to heidelberg’s finest club night of the same name (don’t mix it up with that other square project!) , move d shots two arrows straight into your heart. “cube” is one of those stripped down hypnotic affairs that seem to go on forever and ever just to surprise you with a nice breakdown, before it’s groove sucks you in again. we guess this is what people mean, if they talk about the beauty of simplicity. “heidelberg gals” flips the script in three parts with an old school approach and turns into a monolithic house monster with a bassline to boot. panache! bust a move d!

using a classic the who sample!! mixes from arno cost, cicada and prok & fitch!!

tribal based electro flavoured house number with cool fxd vocal snips!!

large return of the magic duo >the cube guys<!! electro pumpin vocal house with ragga stompin beat influences

two electro flavoured house bombs for the modern clubber. prophetization is more suitable for night time or right before the sun rises. electro rhythms, cosmic synth notes accompanied by a fat bass. lost in space, its dark, the bright strings call from afar and bring hope. the light shines at the end of the tunnel. pazuzu on side b is a mixture of bleeps and atmospheric pads sustained by a housey beat, chugging along to a dubby sub bass. perfect for those early mornings lost on the dancefloor in a state of trance.

another stunning melodic techhouse monster !! will be big!!

ltd backstock.. classical detroit house

as label boss gilbert says about this new versatile outing: i:cube is a prolix producer : some weeks, the cube used to bring me 4 or 5 outlines tracks, always amazing ! i played them sometimes in my dj sets, or shared them with my producers friends. there was always a nerd to ask me what is it… few years later, i decided to compile these unfinished -or not wanted to be released by the artist- tracks in a new versatile collector serie : >les archives cubistes<. re-edited for some, released without modification for others, they show the evolution of this amazing producer, who explores since a decade different styles but always with his typical sound. for this first volume, two techno tracks. deep end, composed in 1999, could be a >news of the week< as it sounds so current… latecala (under maurizio influence) was composed in 2000, to test a new studio gear (a multi effect)… versatile, some years after, delivers you the result. a few 12inch will follow… in different styles. be aware! limited pressing and special artwork by the excellent designer >machine< !
