he superb disco deviance crew continue to impress with their amazing re-edit series !! editors for this release are well known electrofunkateers from up north, bc, who definitely know their disco boogie. having been re-edited themselves on the redux imprint by legendary electrofunk don greg wilson on a track called >hardcore boogie<, they then went on to release the highly praised >konked out< and >missy done a pil< edits on the same imprint. on this, their first release for disco deviance, they continue their habit of not only re-editing, but also mashing and over-dubbing their cuts with their own played sounds to make an amazing blend of discoid bliss thats perfect for both djs and dancefloors. the opening cut >magnificent disco< is a wonderful mix of elements (both sampled and played) taken from their beloved konk, the clash and kool and the gang which are worked into a sublime disco work out. while on the flip its aretha franklins >jump to it< which gets reworked and extended into a hip disco joint that has echoes of atlantic conveyors crossover classic >we are<. enjoy the music

the first release on this new label is from gatto fritto who has released records on dissident and electric minds and recently remixed subway on souljazz. the a side hex is a nine minute, mid tempo, atmospheric, bearded disco trip taking in falsetto vocals, straight to video synths, acoustic guitars and the budget, analog death rattle of a vintage siel cruise. the bmside beachy head is a teutontastic tribute to the uks favourite suicide spot. a 3/4 krauty synth builder that spills into layered waves of guitars and unforgiving rocks of heavy analog bass...think klaus schulze and steve reich rolling off a cliff in 1983 datsun cherry.

great second release on the exciting par tay imprint brings together another collection of top notch dancefloor friendly re edits. kicking off with low down dirty, which sees this patrick cowley production rearranged and stretched out into a awesome low slung sleazy disco groover. next up is thank you for funkin me, a super funky par tay cut and finally a superb extended edit of black bloods 1975 afro disco obscurity a.i.e. a mwana, an awesome track sung in swahili, and later covered by english pop act bananarama. essential!!!

incl solomun remix !! as we venture into the future of house music, we find certain styles taking definitive direction. one of europe’s hottest producers, tiger stripes, has been at the helm and leader of tech & electronic dance music. he lays a new foundation over >voyage<, a recent release found on his safari lp released in 2007. two new re-interpretations, solomun main and lost version of this single will be released with more of his signature sound, pumping drums, jabbing synths, rolling over a bouncing bassline with string flows atop breathing new life into an already vibrant track. tune in and hear what we mean.

inc mihalis safras remix !! young and ambitious, a.d.m. it s only at his third single but deeply insert into the top producer field. keep upgrading his style he has evolved from his past single (aired/pandemonium) into a more housy style. groovy track with leading flute and a crazy voice to set the dancefloor to the top. flip the vinyl for the mihalis safrass remix, the greek producer did it again, powerfull breath taking track!

der thal is been playing all over germany and hes been trying to build up his own sound and skills. after making a great remix of reynolds track >craft< on trenton 027 he is now giving us 3 great tracks for a full maxi. mentona ep is a bit of a journey into what trenton use to be about at the very beginning with a techno that is very close to the old school detroit vibe… in der thals music there are a lot of melodic sounds and tough tight beats to keep us on the ground. >mentona< and >maszo< are floating on air with strings and synth lines when >puston< reminds us more of some >tejada< grooves! a great ep anyway from der thal who is definitely on the way to become one of these great young gifted producers that care about music mainly.

since their first releases on circus company and milnormodern the 3 mousketeers achieve to impose themsleves on the scene with their unik touch. the band is clement zemtsov on beat programing, damien vandesande on keyboards and horns at last but not least, jonathan illel is warmly laying the lyrics. after having produced hip-hop instrumental for a few years they got into house music after meeting nicolas from nôze. one year and a half later they come up with between the blues ep, a brilliant first ep on circus company. then the guys several eps on other labels like orac or eklo. they also start touring a lot across europe and eastern countries. this new record is called blanche neige (snow white) as the lead track of the ep. all the lyrics from it are taken from the original text written by jacob & whilelm grimm back in 1812. .blanche neige is declined in two different versions. on the a side comes the original mix is the dancefoor cut. slower house beat, solid groove, surround by a marvelous chior. while the break show upreading the first lines of snow white in french. let me just tell you that when the break is over you should fasten your seat belt before a nice take off… the first track on b side is romeo. this track was produced by dop and nôze. once again all the lyrics are taken from a book. here its from .romeo and juliet written by william shackespeare. this track perfectly represent the alliance of both bands. the unik saxophone skills from damien vandesande the one man horn section, a wonderfull piano ride by nôze and the sexy voice of jonathan illel. an acoustic house blaster ! the ep is finaly closing down on b2 with the pop version of blanche neige called >kinder cut. there comes the deepness

ruede hagelsteins the modest theme has proven to be one of souvenirs most provocative releases so far. released in the summer, the tracks dramatic horn hook is so epic it belongs in a science fiction film and as a piece of forward thinking techno, it ranks among one of souvenirs best. now the track is back with a remix from souvenir spearheads tiefschwarz alongside a new track from berlin based ruede. semikolon is another dark and dubby deep tech-housy outing for ruede that begins with a dramatic spoken word by naneci and ominous organ stabs. as the track progresses it takes on a chicago house vibe re-imagined at 10am in the panorama bar. an urgent bell begins to ring through the track raising the tension as the vocal intones a surreal chant before giving way to huge synth stabs that lead the track into a slow motion emotional explosion. just when things can get any more hectic the crescendo sinks to silence compressing the energy before the beats emerge back in their earlier deep house guise. ali and bast schwarz take their turn at remixing the modest theme fresh from their incendiary remix of emad kamandians kamanche for souvenir 012. the signature dramatic horn riff remains albeit injected with new percussion lending the track a tough tech house appeal that places it within the context of 2008s underground house sound. both tracks are another addition to souvenirs impressive collection of music aimed at the head just as much as they are at the heart and feet.

the berlin based dj and highgrade-artist jens bond presents with his new ep >hypochonder< his latest work. bond is allready known for his percussive tracks beside that the resident dj of berlins watergate club is well established thanks to his collaborations with benno blome (sender records) and guido schneider (pokerflat). in the namegiving titeltrack for this new ep for highgrade jens bond gives it all: stakkatos of rolling percussions meet pearling synth-lines, creating a jacking, neverending groove. >got some…< develops this recipe for success more into a slightly darker direction, while keeping up beeing changefull with the same >hands-up<-factor. instead of a break mr. bond serves us with >paulista grill< the next highlight of this ep. massive, with a touch of darkness, build on a strong fundament of a funky, dry-asa-bone groove. three tracks, simultaneously eventfull and homogeneous, carrying clearly jens bonds signature.

groovebox ep is filled with some class a material for the raunchy dancefloor. first up there is into the club. this track is typical for channel x: it will blow off the roof in the club! as the title of the track already suggests, this is another one of channel xs lengthy journeys into nightlife extravaganzas. a wonderful fidgety bassline and a loop filled with loads of soulful vocal samples from strong male leads to sensitive female souls, this tune is both deep, touchful and destroying. the chainsaw effect session in the middle paves the way for more stomping tech-house business. no time to recover from this, because on the flip its straight onto the floor with wake up: a loop thats made of trillions of little cut-up effects, vocal bits and some straight four to the floor business. after a playful beginning the tune moves into an hypnotic piece of trippy techno only to be converted into a restless party anthem for the Überpeak-time. sick! perhaps there is some time to chill with the last of the three tracks that is against the wall. here it becomes clear what channel x are best at: to create dark, hard and moving electronic music with that special ingredient that is soul. this track is a perfect example: some frightening effects, lots of reverb on the creepy samples, but such a wonderfully harmonic sample that seems to shed light at the end of the never-ending afterhour. if there is a message to this music, it would be: you need to look hard, but there is always love. once again label boss oliver koletzki has picked up these two very talented producers very early upon their career and it has paid off: in one release being better than the one before

after a wait of 15 years and numerous 12es, e s, random compilation tracks and remixes rude 66 has finally finished a full length album and dare we say it s his most cohesive work to date? sadistic tendencies begins where 2005 s three faces of fear ep ended, with 18 tracks that slide like snails on the edge of straight razors, exploring the dark side of the human condition. thematically connected, deep, dark and mind bendingly analogue, sadistic tendencies is both tense and full of release, sometimes brooding and encroaching at other times exploding into throbbing synth laden dance floor bombs. superlatives aside, sadistic tendencies works exceptionally well as an album and is one of those rare 70 minute journey s that can be enjoyed from beginning to end – like a good horror movie that scares the hell out of you, but keeps drawing you in.

rmxs by clouded vision & noob ! i met brodi early last year, he had a track called >bad runner< that i had been playing incessantly. it leaked onto blog sites months before its release on mental groove in october 2007. it found its way into erols box among many others very early on and the hot fuss began. as a dj, despite hailing from france (reims, lille), unexpectedly brodis taste is broad. if your expecting banging gnarly electro bombs… unlucky. he can play anything from noisy techno, bass heavy house through to more melodic minimal. plus, if you think you spend more time searching the net for new tunes than anyone else, think again. this guy is committed and now his second, and even better ep is here and he has saved it just for turbo

mike takes his ambient album closer stargirl and remixes it into a carl craig inspired deep, minimal track with a gorgeous string section and some twisted computer arpeggios. saleri complex an extended club mix that uses eerie pads, detroit styled synths, and twisted vocal samples.

the third installment in the catz n dogz vinyl series is a showcase for two standout songs off their album stars of zoo. >sf< is a throwback to classic house tracks, with a modern twist - a playground full of joyous children have invaded its sly, bongo-laden grooves. yet these precocious youngsters are only part of the story – the beats insistent and ever-changing swing never lets up for more than a couple of moments. >2< is more ominous but no less effective. its primary percussion enters like springs filling up an echo chamber, gradually morphing into several competing themes that weave together throughout the track. 2s bass is a serious force, creating a physical presence that must be heard on a large system to be believed!

omanko is the only word that is unmentionable in japanese media and public speech. its also the next single from catz n dogz - a strange hybird of cinematic swells, quirky natural drums and popping guitar plucks. its unorthodox groove builds relentlessly, anchored by a shouting chorus and warm bass bubbles that swell from the depths like some massive ancient sea creature. they take their time building to the climax, finishing the track with late-entering keyboard theme that quickly swirls into a frenzy. perfect for tipping that peaktime crowd over the edge! the italoboyz remix completely remolds the groove to fit their distinctive vision, seamlessly integrating shards from the original into their tension-fuelled agenda. breakdowns of varying sizes dominate the sonic landscape, as their annihilating kick plays hide and seek with the strings throughout the track. finally, all the elements are reunited by the echo-drenched vocal line and percussive baritone sax stabs – a satisfying finale to this latenight masterpiece.

played by loco dice, tom clark... a booty call. the title says it all, a call for all booties - big or small - to migrate to the dance floor. an orgy of percussion and low end rumble lift you from your head bobbing slump up against the wall and firmly plants you right in the sweet spot of the dance floor, where the rising energy hits a climax. there is a pause and then the most noticeable sound of the track hits: the booty call. one artist credited with invigorating the kindisch label, is the young frankfurt based producer daniel mehlhart, whose first (and hopefully not last) release, origami was a highlight of last summer. in his booty call remix, one can immediately hear his style thrust into the main groove of the track, injecting it with a heavier feel and bringing forth a whole slew of new effects and sounds including a hypnotizing african vocal. this marks a small milestone as the 20th release of the label.

early support comes from loco dice, mathias kaden, after wba010, which was played already by ricardo villalobos, troy pierce, mathias kaden and also luciano, a role reversal takes place. this time chris lattner gets thechance to show his remix skills. frank leichers original track is hiking very calmly and dreamy into the evening. floating sounds are blending into melancholy and emotional euphoria cutted by short breaks. chris takes these floating sounds and switches them into deep voluminous basslines and ends after breaks, which are getting longer and longer, into a greatclimax. a great night cannot start better !!

the wurst edits gang has inducted yet another ny disco acolyte to the fold, the inimitable irishman-in-new york, eamon harkin. known for wild dj sets not to mention his innovative bookings at such parties as sunday best and fun, harkins no stranger to dance music. no wonder the mans shared bills with such legends as afrika bambaataa, juan atkins, grandmaster flash, the egyptian lover, and kevin saunderson. on his debut single, the man heads straight into peak-time territory with the sinister sounds of >john boy<, where synth toms jump out of the shadows only to punctuate an incredibly propulsive groove. >innit< takes a decidedly different turn down edits lane, rejuvenating an early 90s house gem in magnificently wurst fashion.

incl marcel dettman remix !! the defining feature of bass music in 2008 has been the expansion of the dubstep sound across disparate genres. scubas debut long player, a mutual antipathy exemplified this phenomenon, mixing dubsteps bass rumble with the eccentricities of dub techno and electronica into a sprawling cinematic landscape.

incl rmxs by jay haze & ernesto ferreyra !! lomidhigh unlmtd is a platform for non earthly music and frequencies from distant galaxies, that has echoed down onto us here at planet earth. the label aims to release music that knows no boundaries. to create a home for a label that doesnt contain itself to one genre or time. music that experiments and pushes its own limits into new and undiscovered musical territories. taking influences from the past, and presenting them in a new form. lomidhigh unlmtd has its sights set on the endless limits of the universe, in which it can roam freely and not be contained by gravity or any other earthly presence. the main concept behind the label is to not pigeonhole itself. expect the unexpected. its aim is to give record stores a rough time deciding which genre to put the releases under. at a time where the world is in dire shape, we feel its time to get away from the world and float into outer space. once named the final frontier, the universe knows no limits. the perfect place to surf through the milky ways to distant galaxies, to hear moments of the past echoing into the future. lomidhigh unlmtd is stoked to present its first release. monotaxs debut, the argentinean band formed by dilo (aka elephant pixel), imi and zooey.

an electro tinged hooky bassline and an anthemic breakdown that takes you into a memorable vocal makes this another c.p banger destined to rock the global dancefloors.

fresh from the success of his new album, ninja tuna, mr scruff dips his line back in the sea with the funktabulous get on down. taking a little chunk of 70s soul goodness (a prince phillip mitchell song, sung by johnny adams) and turning it into scruffy sashimi, this is undoubtedly one of the dancefloor stand outs of an album guaranteed to get any crowd bumping. hold on, on the other hand, features the smooooth vox of andreya triana, but nothing can stop scruff from dropping lashings of bass squelch - plus a little extra bangingness on the alternate version hold the dub. altogether uplifting, chest vibrating and all round marvellous, this is brit soul the way it should be done.

support comes from laurent garnier, anderson noise, chris fortier, gunjah, jamie stevens.. ipoly music is the new imprint a&r ed by alec troniq and mentalic, managed by microtonal records. after various releases for etui records, phonocake and microtonal the two talented travellers have found their own place of creativity and reveries. ipoly stands for melodic dancemusic to lead deeper sentiments back to the dancefloor where body and mind become reunited. on ipoly001 alec troniq immerses via sub aquers to abyssal spheres, to dive through his own world of myths. on the other side a daunting mood of odd claustrophobia is created, to flip afterwards into a quite oppositional flow

continuing to plough further into the depths of the warm yet quirky vibes napt offer up a perfect slice of authentic breakbeat funk with work this out. with a healthy nod to the classic house sounds of early 90’s new york they serve up a huge melodic riff that mutates in true n-funk style into a supremely satisfying jacking multi layered bass work out.

big support from dj koze...

todd bodine demonstrates with this ep once again extraordenary taste and skills. after a very successfull excursion on claude van strokes mothership label and his activities as a heavily booked live-act and dj he presents on >unexpected life-form< two brilliant tracks, that seem to burst with their energy. todd bodine apparently has gained a lot of experience how to bunch the impact on both the dancefloor and the musical side and how to turn the result into a wall of sound. and hes doing it by following his own unique style. on the a-side >calypso< captivates you right after a few seconds with its pulsating sequences and a subtle growing energy-level from break to break. developing a drive which wont miss its impact on any floor. >snakeskin< on the flip is homogeneously build around shimmering melody-sequences which create the energy of this track, while the bassline below pulsates warm and deep. sounds like: detroit without kitsch. or like a cross between matthew johnson, robert hood and fabrice lig. to put it in other words: a typical todd bodine release in the best sense. allready a true highlight in the highgradecatalogue in 20

incl tiefschwarz remix !! ali and basti schwarzs souvenir label continue its sonic safari into electronic musics underworld20 with >kamanche< by >emand paradian<

made to play brings the noise with the sounds of wearhouse music and head honcho lee mortimer. lee mortimers exciting, sleazy, demented take on house has been kicking the sh*t out of dance floors and festivals the world over. this e.p is not for the faint hearted but is for those who like to rock a big crowd in a ballistic way. when jimi hendrix played not just one but both sides of it at woodstock in the 70s the place went off its tits and when he reverted back to playing the guitar it just couldnt compare and he never quite got over that. lee mortimer is currently reveling in mass support from the likes of switch, claude vonstroke, diplo and kriss akabusi who apparently likes to play these tracks as a post love ritual, naked and chanting awooga! round the camp fire he has in his bedroom. if you want to embellish the feeling of either hendrix or akabusi in the primes of their existences then get stuck into this release and youll feel like a combination of the two peaking on acid.

dj support by dj hell, luciano, troy pierce, davide squillace (dc10, ibiza) and many more... name+relucto first gathered praise as remixers for the aforementioned fool with their demented re rub of drama earlier this year. their debut is a four track vinyl and digital release. longblackcurlyteeth’ is a dark and deadly slice of techno which germinates from stripped sleeparchive style minimalism into a gloopy acid evolution that plunges and skews itself into the sinister depths of foreboding, resonant evil. blueballs picks up the tempo and undulates along a jacking groove of raw metallic, mashed up alien calypso funk. title track spawnofspoon is a demonic mongrel of future styles. this scuzzy hip hop homage is riddled with shredded vocals and mutant bass modulations which explode into a post rave, acid armageddon. alex cotex is in devastating form with his hypnotic rework of lbct, the result is a mesmerising, relentless beast that reverberates a pulsing throb underpinned by a fizzing 303 bassline

played by oliver huntemann, dubfire, popof, the glitz, pig&dan, style of eye, butch, mike monday, spektre, the hacker,… florian meindl, known for his releases on stil vor talent, trapez and kling klong is now coming up with a new impulsive ep on stephan bodzins prolific herzblut imprint, which is broadening the barriers of techno music since 2 years now ! the first track >aorta< starts with a catchy groove and soon turns into a melodic peak time monster. pure club tnt. >vena< is more beat orientated and straight forward from the beginning. it gets the people onto the floor like the venes bring the blood to the heart. the herzblut honchos super flu deliver a brilliant remix of >aorta<. a true dancefloor killer track with massive breaks for big party moments.
