die wild beasts veröffentlichen ihre zweite single aus dem aktuellen album -present tense- mit drei hochwertigen remixversionen als limitierte whitelabel 12inch. die midtempo-nummer entwickelt sich nach ruhigem beginn zu einer regelrechten hymne, die vom treibenden beat zusammengehalten wird und exemplarisch für das wohlbekannte gefühl aus zärtlichkeit, extrovertiertheit und perkussivem drive steht, das die wild beats seit jeher repräsentieren. trotzdem verpassen sie nicht die gelegenheit, sich auch auf diesem song weiterzuentwickeln. am stärksten wird dies wohl durch die parts deutlich, die zum mitsingen einladen und so -a simple beautiful truth- quasi zu einem selbstläufer bei live-performances machen. neben der albumversion des songs finden sich auf der whitelabel 12inch remixes von lone, darum und east indie youth!

>world music< is the second 12 inch from washington, dc based protect-u. as the title suggests, protect-u grooves to global soundz, but this newest release–once again brought to you by future times–is total mutant house/techno. on the a-side, synth lines bubble like 80s-style francis bebey, then burn up into a space-pulse overdrive. the flip, >u-uno<, is an underwater electro-sitar dream straight outta 24th century india, followed by a slo-mo dub of >world music< that slips back and forth between digital jamaica and european nu-romance.

emmanuel’s talent is steadily getting a well deserved recognition. after having his first release ever being played by practically everyone, emmanuel is back again to deliver another anthem that could only be described as unique and keeps the be as one quality standard high as expected. the ep title track indian wallpaper will gently take the floor back to india and its mystical atmospheres with a smart use of an enchanting melody and a phat groove. this tune sounds like a magical wake-up call for the soul. simply put it’s special. with the flipside tune lipflap emmanuel is back to his own very effective trademark techno grooves. phat basses with a tech funk edge and a simple and yet inteligent groove makes it the perfect follow up to parade.

after his first release on flash recordings together with daso on the night express ep, pawas is now back with his very own three-track ep on the label of koletzki & meindl. all tracks were created in pune in india, pawas’ hometown, and the ep is about three different characters. alicia, charlie and edward. each one of them has a certain distinctive vibe about them: alicia is deep and eloquent, edward is more hectic and restless while charlie seems the funky and witty sort. in terms of music, edward is carried on a powerful, deep synthie melody, a big breathing bassline and some great percussive clicks and clacks that turn into a slightly ravey minimal burner later on in the tune. very hot! edward is a little lighter and is pushed forward by a great funky melody that creates the perfect after hour moment. imagine yourself on the beach when the sun is coming up. alicia on the a side is a deeper, more housy affair has a melodic, percussive and detroity appeal. pawas has managed to create a very fresh and unique signature sound and with releases on squonk, connaisseur and flash records, 2007 seems to be the year for him.

the term legend is applied to many djs and producers without credence, louie vega is one of the elite few who truly warrant the title. from the latin influences that shaped the early stages of his career, through his inspired partnership with kenny dope gonzalez as master at work, to his winning a grammy in 2006, louie vega is one of the true pioneers of house music. here, louie takes you on a personal journey through the music of his life, entwining salsa, jazz, samba, funk and soul into the house lead beats and grooves, producing a mix more than worthy of his fêted ability. this is house music at its very finest

next up from fear of flying we have pawas, originally from india and now based in cologne. pawas is currently in a bit of a groove on the production front with releases on adam krolls excellent squonk label and also with an ep forthcoming on germanys flash records with good friend daso. title track >playtex< is a twisting and turning groove through the deeper echelons of minimalism, very fx heavy with wibbles, whooshs and tripped out noises aplenty. one for the >hazy< moments on the dance floor with its hypnotic groove bound to lock them in until the early hours. >nylon< delivers a summertime injection in the form of an upliftingslice of niceness...

this is the first ep on flash recordings that doesnt feature label owners florian meindl and oliver koletzki. but they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. no one else than cologne-based artist daso - renowned for his previous releases on labels like mbf, session deluxe, ghostly and connaisseur - teams up with his buddy pawas to create their first release >night express< on flash. pawas has just had his first record out on adam krolls and markus müllers imprint squonk records and has been a dj for 9 years, moving from india to cologne one year ago. on the a-side daso & pawas foreshadow the summer with the track >tgv<: a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. >ice< - the name of germanys high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. a slightly broken beat with a thumping organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric high-pitched synths. never too much, this is a perfect example for elegant understatement. also on the flip side is the track >bummelzug<, which translates as >very slow train< in german. this is a dub-techno masterpiece. deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. dreamy, hypnotic, melodic! flash recordings has just become fit for the summer
