word we werent expecting this! this fine platter kicks off with a deft mash up of paris greys dont lead me and neurotic behaviour by psyche (carl craig) and then launches into a beefed up edit of derrick mays kaos. on the b-side is a re-edit of the kevin saunderson remix of we know it by the wee papa girl rappers. we dont know who did this and nor do we care. its a perfect party record for peak time dance floor lunacy. nothing innovative, nothing new but just adding a new twist to old classics and doing it with style. highly recommended

mothership transmission #4… todd bodine has been one of our favourite producers for a long time so we are very excited to be able to bring to you this ep on mothership. todd always brings a swinging groove that works for both minimal and house djs and this release definitely delivers the doughnuts. side a, >secret edge< will turn any stale room fresh and get everyones toes tapping and asses wiggling. its got elements of detroit, chicago, and berlin all wound up into a really nice party starter. you can never underestimate a fun grooving track thats easy to mix and fun to dance to. side b, >back to back< is a submariners dream with bubbling water sounds floating and popping over a low funk groove. this is the track for when you want to take it down a notch without losing any dance-floor magic. its a real dreamy affair with a fat bottom end. thanks todd!

following releases on delsin, nrk, morse and even josh winks ovum recordings he is now back on orlando voorns triangle! it is crystal clear that this man is working his way towards the top regions of todays techno scene - the way just about everything which sprouts from his mind and his machines, turns into solid gold! here we have another winner, with mr orlando voorn reworking the original! superb!

rebekahs second instalment on criminal records is a 2 track ep. moving flawlessly into techno with 2 beautifully crafted pieces, freakonomics is a deep work out of sub heavy bongos, a haunting melodic synth line and stripped riding percussion with layers of effects building into an atmospheric breakdown. neo is more up-tempo with shuffling percussion and rolling bass that leads into deep rich synth stabs. radio 1 was quick to pick up neo airing it on mistress de funk s residency show last week and both tracks are gaining huge support from the likes of funk d void, greg vickers, mark knight and yousef

alora…from sebo k, sleeper thief, audiofly, anthony colllins, sian, marcin czubala to manuel de lorenzi. best feedback for the new 8bit record from the smart italian guy. manuel de lorenzi is definately one rising star to watch out for in 2008..carving his own fresh style and insight into his prodcutions, he delivers a fine ep for 8bit..>coconuts< is a slow burner, with punchy chord stabbs and deep haunting pads that take you nicely on a journey. on the flipside >something< is a more subtle, deep n dark groover. nick curly is brought in on remix duties keeping it close to the orginal yet delivering a more housed up percussive affair. a great ep and great start to 2008!

kbushs classic track gets a balearic/italo styled re-edit, an extended wind swept and interesting intro slips into the unmistakeable marching drums with snippets of distorted guitar, before ms bush lets rip in that falsetto style that is her hallmark

support comes from paul mac, ben sims, reynold, fabrice lig, russ gabriel !! a solid detroitish techno ep from franco cangelli. digging deep into his roots, he delivers 3 brilliant tracks that exemplify the machine soul of techno. >highway< pulsates with deep bass kicks, slowly evolves to a rhythmic orgy of beautiful detroitish chord layers. future classic deep techno. the darker and moody >things coming together<, works the dancefloor with classic 808 sounds, a square bassline, dark strings and a nasty melody. dbx meets detroit. >presumably so< starts off on a minimal trip slowly evolving into a funky track with a moving bass string, squelchy electrifying sounds and a sweet pad to add a nice deep touch. reynold then comes along with a mind shaking remix, funky chords, electro bassline, building up to an unrelenting dancefloor experience

pablo bolivar is a well known and respected producer with an extensive discography that includes productions and remixes for labels like regular, galaktika, blurred vision, bay street, justified cause. >into the televerse< is a 10 minute deep tech-house joy, full of melodic elements and a moody groove, the catchy bass-line will keep everyones minds busy while some subtle elements join the ride. >in my hand< is a 3 minute beautiful soundscape that will find its place close to brian enos ambient explorations and the static caravan idm. modern loves enfant terrible andy stott gives his very personal touch to >into the televerse<

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

>this sound< is the sound of def jaguar (aka djuma soundsystem) and best mate flip. you might remember the djumas from last years >les djinns< on get physical but this is a completely different story. >this sound< is pure catchy and sexy pop-house at its best. its a flirt tool! berghain/panorama bar resident murat tepeli (playhouse/ostgut) follows with a properly crafted remix. anyone said chicago? yes, house keeps our heart pumping. this is a dj tool for the discerning selector. on the flip side, the classy joachim spieth (paso/kompakt) is set to deliver…and he delivers, no doubt about it! he shifts the cosiness of the original towards deeper and hypnotic areas turning a house anthem into a techno anthem! to finalise the matter, dubnoodles (milnor modern/rundlauf) pumps fresh energy into his remix with help from a fat bass spiced up with unexpected indie flavoured grooves!

this is the 1st of 2 eps taken from superfreq express mix cd by mr.c. .the a1 is by recent label signing don & tom & is a peak time dance floor bullet. these solid tech house grooves come with a phat bass line & trippy analogue arpeggios that are simply irresistible on the dance floor. this is a proper dj tool. a2 is called angel & is mr.cs first solo outing in 2 years, which is an ode to his recently, departed mother. this beautiful track is deep, emotional minimal house at its very best with rolling bass stabs & beautiful melodic bleeps that carry you into the domain of the ideas. aa1 comes from eclat & prudo as alpha romero.

reissue of the seventh studio album from radiohead.

the original mix of tape replay is nearly nine minutes long and can only be described as a journey. its the perfect transition track, able to turn minimal sets into future disco, a house set into electro-funk, a techno set into a live jam-a-thon or a rigid set of any kind (like too many these days) into something with emotional depth. for remix duties we have enlisted our favorite producers will saul & tam cooper from simple records. much like their tech-house revision of phoniques bang, recently released on dessous, here on fresh meat they have put together a subtle yet bassy response to the wow & flutter original. the track builds and builds and at about three fourths through it explodes with lush keys, rich pads and a breakdown thats executed perfectly. these gents are on point and we are more than excited to have them along for the trip.

nice price deal !!! not only touch your mind is the first production but also is the first track licensed on a label for jeff di feno and jyack alls, two 24 years old producers living in paris. in addition to the original dub version that is a massive dance floor track, karine adds lyrics and transforms this track into a massive radio tune! arias, muttonheads and tristan garner cannot wait to remix this track using their personal touch

map dances very own miles numan comes up with a hot summer track, which already got a lot of feedbacks by various a list djs. besides the funky original mix the groove junkies from the usa turned it into a sexy afrohouse bomb. for late hours miles numan comes up with a dub version with beats and a bassline that will drive your crowd crazy. try this!!

ibadan records releases yet another double-pack of killer remixes. this time of >f12< and >elevation<. jerome sydenham and tiger stripes started their collective creative journey with the now classic >stockholm go bang!< they followed up with two installations. >f12< and >elevation<, on the successful ibadan 10inch beats series which leads us to this searing new double-pack. featuring delectable remixes from radio slave, argy, ink & needle, and hideo kobayashi. f12 in true argy style he delivers two exemplary and innovative remixes giving us fresh insight into his state of mind for the next musical season. hideo serves up a punchy jacked tech mix with progressive overtones. a winner for those so inclined. elevation radio slave yet again shows his musical prowess with two remixes from both ends of the tech spectrum that will more than satisfy his ever expanding fan base. ink & needle waste no time proving why everyone will be paying them serious attention in the new year. what else is there to say – tech-house at its freshest!

played by troy pierce, kiki, matt tolfrey… stefan tretau has quickly made himself a name as a producer of techno/house with releases on fortek, sounderground and karma rouge. now stefan delivers his debut on heimatmelodie, with 3 original tracks and a stunning remix by mobilees marcin czubala. flederlaus is a real journey into sound: capturing immediate dancefloor attention with its bassline, then taking off with an intense frequency-shifting synthline that delivers another one of those dbx references many heimatmelodie releases have to offer. bettfluchthemmung is slighty deeper though, focusing more on the bassline and percussion patterns. the vinyl is completed by reiner modern, the most techiest track of the pack

anil chawla is relatively a newcomer on the uk scene, having emerged in 2004 as dj to watch, he already released productions on such labels as global underground, saved, cubism, or berwick. anil has been sending me his work for quite some months now and everytime there was a track to play. so its naturally that we started talking about a possible release on kill brique. anils music got the necessary energy to move any dancefloor, he knows the game, and he knows how to shake your ass. this ep is here to prove that : >together< is an acid monster (reminds me, oh surprise, some of the hardfloor stuff) that builds into a very nice breakdown

ultracool clickin deeper detroit like tech tracks!! with his amazing talent and prolificacy, geoff white sets the standard in the techno realm. white is a producer, dj, and live performer, always branching out into new musical territory and realizing his ambitious aspirations

marbert rocel are composts latest signing. hailing from thuringia, germany, the are combining deep minimal house, electronica and jazz and with a great sense for pop music. you got to be patient when crossing marbert rocels path late at night or listening to one of their tracks because you will start thumping with your eyelashes until you see your whole body turning into a non stop wet wet wriggling - waterfall esque armpits inclusive!

the original track is a deep grooving houser with soulful vocals and some funky guitars. on the a side distant soundz and lee neilson transform the track into a slamming electro flavoured peaktime bomb.

joel mull, another representative of the swedish techno community, releases his current vision of what is to happen on the dancefloors. it is different from what his fans know from the early days. with his debut single on cocoon >harmonautic string<, joel mull sends us to a journey through the track which is smoothly airy-fairy and thus perfect to dive into the land of dreams after a wild party night. even when speeding up after a short break with the drums dominating – the track remains harmonic and is designed to dance into the sun in the early morning hours. the b-side appears spacy and melancholic, but again, mull is able to layer his music so deep and brillant that the basic mood is still vicious with the track still coming along in a magical and elegant way. >blossom< is exactly the right thing for a cold winter night and reminds of the b-side of beyers cocoon release

both tracks written and produced by chris liebing at studio one. (a1) supported by ali (deepdish)!! the a-side >bangpop< is at first obviously driven by a central bassdrum. little by little, it steps into the background and makes room for the fine and striking, hypnotic sequences. that sounds good already, but gets polished by a snaredrum that simply makes you happy. a little hit? we wouldn t be surprised. on the b-side we are facing >puckelbop<, a 12 minutes long monster. a good example for how efficiently a bassdrum and a sequence can clear an aisle into a forest. no tree will remain standing – theyll move! clr20

pratap (sway, mankind, hz) delivering 4 strong tracks along the lines of his priorities-remix released on sway 18. its strong basslines grooving on a funky beat! elton d, cave, valentino kanzyani, boriqua tribez was the latest ones and if you were into those, you dont want to miss out on this one from pratap!

limited edition upfront promo copies...not only touch your mind is the first production but also is the first track licensed on a label for jeff di feno and jyack alls, two 24 years old producers living in paris. in addition to the original dub version that is a massive dance floor track, karine adds lyrics and transforms this track into a massive radio tune! arias, muttonheads and tristan garner cannot wait to remix this track using their personal touch!

limited upfront promos !from hollywood california eric wikman (deepswing) & eddie amador present the bobbleheads!! heres a track for everyone! eric & eddie got together in erics studio in hollywood and created a big monster of a track that will work on any dance floor & radio show. the original fence sitter mix... is a name we came up with to describe a song that can fall into the soulful side of things... as well as the big room and harder side of things. we hope this is one of those songs for you!

for the final of the simple sounds ep, we bring in the disco courtesy of two of wills favourite fellow artists. putsch 79 take wills album cut >speak & spell< deeper and darker but maintain wills original chord progression. the undulating dark disco mix slowly evolves into a fabulous euphoric crescendo that’s already proving to be irresistible to our feet. on the flip, northern lads 2020 soundsystem, led by ralph lawson and dubble d, re-interpret wills underground classic pause in their signature live style.

deep grooving soulful, a little detroit/techy edged house number. martin solveig works the track into a tribalistic electrofunker. flip for 2 excellent greenskeepers mixes, who add their trademark sounds and chicago vibes. a must have

two heavy bass loaded dancefloor smasher >> electro nu skull breaks mixture. the original utilizes the vocal hook >this is fucked up man!<, laced on top of crisp 4/4 electro beats with a booming kick and wide hand claps. the bass is bottom heavy, and the distorted leads scream at you, as this one lines up to pound through club speakers and into your eardrums.

next hypnotical gel abril two tracker !! on the a-side, >200 grams< cannot be the weight of this heavily bouncing and hypnotizing tune. with a distinctive quirky line and a heavily bouncing groove like we are used from gel abril, “200 grams” keeps you moving all the way up to the main break, and then takin you back into the dubby old school groove. if the a-side was freaky and bouncing, well the ep title-track >your face is a mess< on the b-side can only be descibed as a dirty mindblowing minimal/tech house track with a druggy vocal all over and a very stripped down synth line

this newcomer already appeared on cardiac arrest, definition of mayhem and beast and shows an impressive capability to channel his bad tempers and aggressive moods into various tracks. this stuff will make your hair go up and for a couple of minutes you will experience what its like to chow down a portion of hallucinating mshrmz whilst suffering from a serious case of malaria fever!

>hyphen< is a bumpy techno tune perfectly suited for peak time play. it starts of with this deep 808 kick and squelchy bassline followed by this mesmerizing synth melody which teases you all the way through-out. strum wie doh is a sophisticated mixture of minimal and techy house. it has minilogue-ish vybe to it. on the b-side tretau takes things into darker territory with killi. a steady groove makes your feet move and those crazy minimal sounds and effects make your head spin.

dimi angélis & jeroen search. both artists are among the few internationally acclaimed techno artists from the netherlands. their dj activity and production work reaches back into the early nineties. >the new frontier< melds the firmness and determination of old school techno with a contemporary subtlety. it is amazing how few elements jereon search and dimi angélis need to create a dense and compelling athmosphere. >lunar< is the kind of track that slips perfectly in a wide range of club sets. while it offers the dj a vast span of possible connections to other music, its hypnotic melody does not leave your head for hours. >jupiter< is bolder, it is centered around a demanding groove. while the melodies operate in the background of the track, the complex net of rhythmic patterns shifts indistinguishably. it is the type of music which holds you in a tight grip - and you are not even able to tell what exactly is so striking about it. its implicitness makes >the new frontier< such a special record. it belongs to the rare breed of music which does not demand to go into your box - and this is exactly why it is made to stay there for quite some time

a slammin 2 tracker that should see him propel into 2008, a chunkier proggy house journey with its undelying grooves!!

the title track recalls those half forgotten dreams of positivity and optimism inspired by early us house music… a nostalgic arrangement of arpeggiated synths, high string lines, analogue drum machines and a 1980s vintage, new order like stepped bassline. housemuzik 1.2,3 takes us into much dark territory, dragging a similar palette of sounds into a dense psychedelic mix of acid guitar, pitched down demonic vocals and disorientating spacial effects. dont listen to this with the lights off! fajr dub is an epic, stoned dub collage built around classic space echo delay & feedback tricks, spectral voices and a shifting synth bass pattern, all underpinned by a soft pulsing backbone reminiscent of rhythm & sound productions.

on remix duties this time we have the mighty drumsound & bassline smith combo. the original was screaming out for a d&b rework and we were more than stoked when they agreed to treat it. they extract the essence of what makes the original so good, making it their own stepping up a gear from 128 to 160bpm and into the future.

excellent electropop and acid anthem for the late night or early morning club action !! oxia blows a fresh wind into the goodlife stamp with his latest 12inch >lost memory<. time flies, its already from 2004 that we saw an oxia release on his own goodlife imprint. over those three years oxia created some smashing & big selling releases on kompakt, tsuba, confused, notorious elektro etc..

making a triumphant return to dance floors world wide, the incomparable plump djs unleash their first official release since 2005. system addict gets proceedings underway with a rumbling clarion bass call. with its central automatic, system addict mantra, the track switches between serrated bass and a gated synth hook, underpinned by some typically plump driving rhythms. flipside doppler sees the plumps going for some serious heads down action. a screaming crescendo drops into techy vocodered riffing before layered percussion builds and builds to devastating effect. this release has become a classic hands in the air plump djs weapon already taking dance floors by storm.

from the four corners of the globe (sort of) comes a collection of some of the hottest club bangers 130bpm has ever seen. first up is dangerous in the 80s from kid who (brixton) who managers to unite the strange pairing of calvin harris and busta rhymes to make an old school electro tinged post classic combination. t wrecks (toronto) is next out the box with stabs, cut ups and the think break that turns timbalands tune into a baltimore anthem. estaw (amsterdam) takes the hip hop anthem of all hip hop anthems, breaks it down, builds it up, bobs, weaves, throws a right hook, throws some ds on it and throws the dance into a frenzy. last but not least, jim sharp (london / toronto) re animates talib kwelis ode to the fairer sex into a fidgety, bumpy, electro slab of sound that makes feminine undergarments moist.

capture records was born to deliver deep house music. deep grooves and deep emotions. the founder of capture records has a great passion for music and through this passion a musical energy is formed to capture the moment and memories of the music that moves us. its not all about the music but sounds in a particular song and how we translate them into feelings. its all linked to certain parts of our lives and how we relate to them. its a memory, a connection, a crushing feeling, and a state of mind. so after a while blueless is back with her latest single… house music the way house music is supposed to be…

crystal re-clearas alessandra is back! timmy vegas has masterfully remixed crystal re-clearss, >im dancing< into a fresh, new musical montage of retro dance music elements

thrilling!!! moonbootique diving into the deep with the new ante perry, supported by tube & berger! very good, deep tune which surely will fit into the sets of the modern electronic, minimal and non bigroom electro house oriented upfront and top league djs!!

this time we ve taken a trip to israël where deep a & vek are from. these two youngsters produce deep and hypnotising minimal that is hugely inspired by heroes like chaim or guy gerber. they gave us three tracks that each and every one are a story on itself. all tracks take their time to build up to a climax and bubble out into soundscaped synth lines and carefully constructed melodies, aiming not only on the mind, but also at your feet.

following the big success of their debut release >metro gold< berlin based resident dj of bar 25 red robin and format b member jakob hilden have come up with a very hitty and unorthodox big production as a follow up. the two club tracks of the upcoming >tales ep< are straightforward and reduced to the essentials. made out of pure power. >lazy jack< the a-side is another monster of a track. it holds the dark berlin side of techno, with its droning noises and delays. it reminds us a bit of chicago techno house at its best, but this is just one facetted of the track. it gets its other enthusiastic crazy over the top and emotional side from the whistle melody which sets in half way through the track. this leading sequenced is such a catchy tune that its sure to be heard in all mayor berlin clubs and eventually all around the globe. the b-side track >tin soldier< is a marching techno tune, with a cool slight swing programming in the rhythm and drugged out chords. creating a ghost town atmosphere, transforming the club into another >futureworld<

john tejada returns with a stomping slice of in your face techno. >labyrinth< is a winding journey through modulation and filter trickery reminiscent of his >infected< single from a couple years back. in your face drums and synths control a steady building energy that will spiral you into the labyrinth. balancing out the energy of the a side is >the tyranny of choice.< a signature syncopated melodic slice of tejada that layers melodies and rhythms in classic tejada fashion

taking a jump up from his laid back lounging mode chris belsey joins forces with trevor loveys of house of 909 and speaker junk fame to collaborate as lill bo tweak. lill bo tweak may sound like a nursery rhyme character that lost its sheep but it is in fact two londoners who have found a massive dance floor smash and served it up on made to play. k-rizzles solid beats , groovy bass-line and twisted flip outs will fire up any dancefloor. as well as this label boss jesse rose has smoothed out the original into a dub version

next booty to come from the ransack quarters takes on classic jungle brothers and rinses them out hard !! dub mix on the flip for those more into their bass minus vocals

played by ricardo villalobos !! here comes popof, aged 28, an electronical arranger and composer from france, with his first release for afu limited. this 12inch will definitely do it s damage and rock the floors big time! the title track alcoolic is just waiting in the row to be the next big funky-minimal styled monster. the track hypnotical has all the qualities for the crowdpleaser and hologram is the electrohouse rumbler to round it up! he fits perfectly into the line of rockin afultd. releases and will be found in the playlists of the big ones pretty soon!

the p-posse cracks two more tunes and turn them into propelling dancefloor tunes. starting with a special trip the a-side pulls a well known rock formation back into the underground. this will amuse you for sure. the flip should definitly ring some bells. the biggest smasher from techno legend mills gets a rerub and is injected with some rollin funk
