cool spaced out disco ..

four pieces for buchla 200 system, cello and voice, composed & produced by caterina barbieri.

the 2nd album from analog synth composer caterina barbieri on double vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

noise to meet yous zweite veröffentlichung bietet eine mini-lp, die electro auf seine eleganteste seite bringt. sechs tracks voller tanzimpulse und emotionaler aufladung des schwedischen künstlers ebe-2.

amsterdam, nl: 12 months ago we concluded a series of experiments with a test subject named ben penn. a year on, we decided to repeat this experiment at his tilburg base. once again, the results were startling.

highly synergistic split from eleh/caterina barbieri featuring two sides of similar audio dimensions. these two electronic sound poems slowly unfurl rich timbre and harmonics with an austere stillness that is, somehow, ever-changing. it hardly matters whose side is whose.

nice price deal !!! the corestyle story continues... with forsaken is dead (known from his waking the tyrants device ep on corestyle last year, besides his various other productions for labels like meta4, industrial strength, six feet underground or hard kryptic) and cap (hard kryptic) we have two of the az hardcore junkies here. the a-side is represented by cap and starts with the title track this is not a war, a hard industrial uptempo pounder which is yet still atmospheric. the b-side offers 2 collaborations between cap and forsaken is dead. repeating patterns is rather techno-influenced whereas the second track, pulling strings (forsaken is dead remix) starts with a mystic intro and turns into a grooving and driving monster.

the official army of hardcore anthem 2012 on single-sided vinyl.

captivating melodies, dreamy pads and strings that evoke an encouraging future open and yet to be explored. this is >renaissance< the new release presented in mini lp format 12 inch and signed by the transhumans, arcanoid and ebe-1, a member of sowing paranoia. techno, electro and idm together in perfect harmony. th003 is the last release of this trilogy. it ends with a clear and positive message, reviewing the past to try to build tomorrow and look to the future

release no. 4 on the limited label is done by the two german djs tensor& re-direction. both are resident djs in the well-known cosmo club in oberhausen and already played on big hardcore partys like army of hardcore, earthquake, hardcore warriors, pussy motherfuckers and many more. besides that, tensor has been working for the important records recordstore and online-shop for more than 10 years and now moved to the label management.
the ep offers the two completely different tracks >fear<, a melodic mainstream slammer (with mc vocals by mc axys and a great remix by their friend thorax, still known from his release on important hardcore limited) and the hard, straight in ya face track >hate<, with a stunning remix by megarave artist squaresoundz.

it took a while, but after the relaunch in 2010 with 3 releases in total (ebe company, stormtrooper, jane ephex & stormtrooper), the next release on important ebe company is a fact.
moleculez & the relic, known for numerous releases on labels like symp.tom, meta4, third movement and many more, combined forces to please us with a 5-track vinyl ep.
the ep starts off with the track >cold corners<, a kickin piece of dark core with a melodic break, followed by >day of sacrifice<, which is representing the acid side of hardcore. the a-side will be completed by a hard and dark remix of >cold corners< by labelowner ebe company.
on the b-side you will find an >ionic storm<, with a great remix bystormtrooper and the original, of course.

once again we present the official army of hardcore anthem on our label this year!
>army of hardcore< is one of the biggest german hardcore events, taking place on the 25th of december 2010 in oberhausen (turbinnehalle) with 6 different areas.
for this years anthem masters of noise and the beat controller (still in everyones ears with his current release: droppin heat) combined forces and engaged mc tha watcher for the vocals. this is hardcore at its best!

already the second release by stocker on the corestyle label. after his succesful >competition ep< (which was released in december 2009 with a cool matt green remix and 2 releases for hardcvolume) he is now back with a 5 track ep called >funkmachine<.
the ep starts with the dark & hard >away from reality<, followed by >see the dark<, a more melodic track comparable with his >gamemaker< track on the last ep.
the flipside offers the title track >funkmachine< in the original mix, followed by a dirty technoish funky hard industrial remix by us top producer broken rules, known from his releases for industrial strength, industrial movement and many more.

the next release on important hardcore will be the second single of dutch artist the beat controller. this 3-track ep is named by the title track >droppin heat<, as massive mainstyle bomb!
the b-side includes the track >fiction failure<, a cooperation with masters of hardcore artist re-style, well known at the moment for his syndicate anthem. last but not least we have >keep on rocking<, a surprisingly hard and driving track. definitely not the usual main-style as we would expect from this geezer!

second release on our limited label, again by solution-x guy gigi and his mate giant (back from remixing slavefrieses >i call it a loudner< for megarave).
these two producers from koblenz (germany) supply us with a powerful melodic mainstream track. the vinyl will be completed with a cool remix by rotterdam records artists prolaxx & outrage, who are still in everyones ears with their successful and fresh >bastards ep<.
very limited edition, no represses (as usual for the limited label!).

jane ephex has been a core person of the german electronic scene in the last years as a producer, live act and deejane. she is a well established artist and after many gigs at germanys biggest events like nature one, syndicate, ruhr in love, hellraiser and some magnificent nights in important clubs like butan & fusion everybody should know her name. deeply rooted in the scene with her music, she is considered by many as a woman with multiple musical talents, from straight-up jackin hardtechno to advanced industrial, as well as hardcore (with her synonym e-phex). she already had releases on different labels like hells bangers & tonica and collaborations with minupren and this time with stormtrooper. one of the most talked-about tracks over the past months >angel< finally gets a full release, including the stormtrooper remix! stormtrooper is also responsible for 2 other tracks on this ep: >desdemoni< (together with jane ephex), a massive hardtechno influenced industrial track and >dancing with demons<, which is rather hard & industrial with a very cool groove & drive.
yet another slammin release on the ever expanding important ebe company imprint!

a special 7 inch vinyl for the 7th release on important corestyle!

huge 4-track ep by stormtrooper, showing the variety of styles he can produce. sweet poisonous lips takes you on a poisonous 10 minute journey through the sounds of industrial hardcore, techno and even electro. the track is definitely nonstandard and will also find its way to the more techno orientated floors. the 2nd track on the a-side tinning starts of a lot harder, but also realigns to the techno floors during the melodic electro break.the highlight on this ep is flight instinct on the b1, a hard, but atmospheric industrial crossover track with hard drum & bass elements. if youre into tracks like hells basement from outside agency, then this should be your choice.the b2 extreme body reactions is definitely the most freaky track of this ep with very cool and evil sounds.another must have for all the industrial heads out there!!

incl stormtrooper rmx!!

major mainstyle alert! the beat controller is a young, but already well- experienced dutch dj and party organizer (confusion events). besides his dj skills, he already made himself a name with the track >handz on my ballz< in cooperation with angerfist. the track was released on the last angerfist album >mutilate<.
now its time for his first solo ep. both original tracks are rather hard & kickin, but yet still melodic and absolutely dancefloor-orientated. distorted revelation, known for their successful releases on knor, deliver a stunning remix in their unique own style which will also do well on the floor. all in all, a very strong (maybe the strongest) release on important hardcore yet.

eveybody s gay... suggests however a musical idea that could not be simpler, a kind of atonal electronic blues with a recurring motif. yet, everything hinges on keyboards riffs and song rendering which allow d.i.p to bowl us over exultantly. if everybody s gay... is playing on self-restraint, on the b-side perfect day launches a head-on attack on the dancefloor with overworked disco-techno-rock intentions…and, present as always, those acid-electro-gut-wrenching tones. we can also notice that florian s personality shines out in broad daylight, as if it was possible, amazingly playing on voices. seducing and convincing. everybody is definitely ok: if a second ep is always a decisive test for a producer, d.i.p. compels recognition on the popular credibility form. moreover those little brats take advantage of the opportunity to sign right through the sheet
