marco resmann has done it. the studio computer is purring again like a satisfied kitten and those dark technical storm clouds have passed by. to prove that a streak of technical bad luck which he has just gone through can sometimes enhance creativity he has come up with this little gem of a new single >drop outz<. on a1 we have >mal pas< (transl: difficult road) which is an ode to the suffering he went through with his computer. but dont worry, its just a name, the track itself is as light and sweet as the stuff that we love from marco. b1 is also little beauty, no dark clouds to be found here either, and b2, a cracker called >whats cracking< is the ultimate proof to anyone that the sun always shines at upon you. enjoy and always think happy thoughts friends

lust und freu.de welcomes voellmer & brendel, two new artists from potsdam, on their seventh and last release of this year. their track >influenze< is built up pretty simple and brings it on sharp with rolling basslines and spacey sounds flying all over the place. this track fascinates by careless ease and its hypnotizing effect lets his listeners automatically float to the dancefloor. competed by an bumpin someone else and an away drifting antonio olivieri remix this ep is an invitation to move your feet and fly away.

here we go again! driving forces recordings is proud to announce another great release by our friends chris hope & andre walter, who again shared forces to create 2 pure and evil techno tracks. the original version of >i take< is a super long & hypnotic tune with great and endless rising synths. this is pure peaktime madness for crowded club nights.
the remix comes from nobody less than naples uprising superstar sasha carassi. with releases supported by the ones like adam beyer, alan fitzpatrick, joseph capriati, len faki and countless others, sasha stands for quality in every respect. no question that he delivered a real bomb here too in his very special & unique trademark big room style.
>collateral damage< is another brutal piece of music in the typical way only andre walter is able to do. with all its rawness this track perfectly reminds on his early days and works with frankfurt based technolegend chris liebing. this is simply sick! be aware!all tracks were heavy road tested for months now and are 100% club smashers for sure!

boe x is a special landmark release for the buzzed about london label boe recordings. featuring artists both familiar and new to the imprint, its a sonic snapshot of the labels sound wrapped in celebratory sleeve artwork and limited to a vinyl only run of 500 copies

track 5, a previously unreleased single meant for >the days of mars< album, but ultimately deemed out of place on the record, begins with the slow reveal of a repeating electronic ring atop a rising, falling, sine-curving synth. with each additional layer—a piercing, urgent synthesizer, a deep, continuous, ever-expanding rumble, the sound of a guitar, awash in reverb—the atmosphere thickens. its both restless and placid, anxious and tranquil. just over ten minutes in length, the track closes with a chorus of high-pitched synths that fade to a sparse, darkened end. this 12-inch, very likely gonzalez and russoms last, also features a remix from Âme, comprised of germanys kristian beyer and frank wiedemann. the house duo wholly transforms the a-side into a track so unrecognizable it seems brand new, taking it far from the introspective dreamworld to a dance party in the sweaty, blissed-out, wee hours of the morning

support from miguel migs, king britt, tedd patterson, master h, jammie thinnes, master kev, deep josh, russell pollitt, dalminjo, roussia, michael fossati, dj jorj... its almost winter time but stalwart has decided to refuse to let go on this depressing vibe !! with its 18th release, stalwart hopes to bring some sun in your heads and ears with this track from portuguese dj and producer deep djoe, sung by superstar portuguese soul singer veronica larrenne. >sing 4 u everyday< is a melodic funky soulful song full of live instruments giving it a warm, qualitative, singalong appeal. the groove will take you straight to the dancefloor, and the vibe to a warmer place near a beach or a swimming pool !! receiving heavy feedback, the original tune has been given the remix treatment from our heavyweight friend aaron ross who delivers a mood ii swing-like vocal dub version. dj rork added a different, more complex groove to the original track with his rework, while up-and-coming french talent thomas toccafondi had delivered a minimal, groovy and hypnotic dub, giving this package a wide appeal

own meets the 60s with the naughties. its throbbing drum rhythm and soul-laced vocal make this a certain smash for those hot, heavy and sweaty nights. finally the much shought after remix of riva starr is available on a ltd produced stamped vinyl

played by ellen allien, koljah, bryan zentz! amam records is pleased to announce its seventh release, a joint effort between avatism of london and the selph of milan – including a remix by veteran producer dan curtin – for a well rounded tech-house vinyl ep

cabin fever pulls in the production skills of alexkid (f com, cadenza) for this killer limited vinyl only release. >i want it all< is already turning into a bit of an anthem for radio slave with its relentless kick and vocal. whereas >lovemusic< is all about the groove. this time pressed on clear/transparent vinyl

jeremy duffy (duffstep) brings us back to the deep, the spacey, the atmospheric, the groove. imagine blockheads, fly los, fingathings, mount kimbies and von ds sound, slightly reduce the beat to the soulful side, add synths and mid/heavy weighted bass and your almost there. as well as releasing music on his own label, join the dots, duffstep sent a copy of his demos to electric minds and after hearing >close< we immediately got in touch to sign the single. the track is one of the most powerful productions were heard this year and proved its worth when we heard it played as part of duffsteps av show on cargos huge system. big beats with a huge bass line, close is a powerful track that crosses the border of house and dubstep. to compliment the track we commissioned hreno & the mole to provide their take with a stripped back house version. in addition yam who also steps up for remix duties providing a killer boogie track. touching dub step , house and boogie the 12inch provides 3 sounds from the different corners of todays dance music scene.

>i keep asking myself where they take all that brilliant music from. its just as if somebody had poked a bees nest and then it all burst out. i feel deeply connected to the pampa style…< (terry hogann, the musical mistress, 10/2010). as was to be expected, pampa is steadily developing into a platform for cross-border electronic dance music. each pampa release sounds different from the previous and still pampa remains a conclusive musical planet. this is all the more surprising in the case of pampa005, which features two completely different artists: side a: nathan fake - xmas rush having reportedly recorded his track >xmas rush< in his london studio during a jam session, nathan fake (border community, traum, saw) has turned in a total brainfuck. its mercylessly exaggerated, psychedelic, inexorable, and at the same time sweet and heart-warming. a very rare mixture. unique in its consistency, we havent heard anything like it since the 90s. its so nice and overwhelming to have your ears exercised the right way again. evergreen… side aa: dj koze pays tribute to michael smith - >mi cyaan believe it< in the meantime, dj koze has moved on to completely different spheres. once again, he astonishes his public with an extremely danceable version of michael smiths >mi cyaan believe it<. having originally started off as a digital error, and recorded within a single night, this tune recalls the ruthlessness, rawness and revolutionary energy of public enemy

jan driver “gain reaction : you might know jan driver from his famous techno life in the 90ies or maybe for his label grandpetrol, his extraordinary skills in german folk music, high quality mixing for siriusmo, jesse rose and modeselektor or last but not least also from his wmc 2010 #1 hit “tellyfoam” which was featured on the bnr miami noize sampler. here is the first maxi of berlin multi-action-talent and friend jan driver, presenting a selection of 4 tracks including “gain reaction , a good fun heavy bass bleep champ, “cs40m , a slower powerful jam that creates an energetic build up of pink noise and 303 sounds for the very special atmosphere, >hornetbeef<, a tech-house at its best and >mecafunk<, darker techno, big sounds, the right track to close this magnificient production of these 4 tracks. what more do you need

first on decks.de !! wavering minimal compositions by german techno aficionado felix bernhardt. (a1) felix bernhardt - black donkey : a massive piece of bass concentration mixed with a round sound structure, sampled vocals and a thrilling build-up for explosive dancefloor moments. (a2) felix bernhardt - die lustige lokomotive : felix bernhardt starts the track with playful, melodic bleeps merging into a hammering peaktime track - quirky, dynamic and groovy all along. (b) felix bernhardt - black donkey (wahrlich & carbon remix) : with a pounding beat at the beginning, the remix of >black donkey< comes along rougher and more minimalist than the original. the track develops its own force due to its distinctive melodic sequences.

for detroit techno lovers ... fantasic record incl strong christian smith rmx...616 seconds highlights marcs dancefloor knowledge, and once again sees him harnessing the strength and power of contrasting sounds. the cascading and sweeping synths, sit pretty alongside the underlying, gated growl of the main bass-heavy synth, pierced only by its open hats and snare hits.

third release on the label and its another bomb! pianos rule on this already classic techno anthem..

nice price deal !!! after more than one year slash co-owner ahmet sisman is back with his brand new solo ep! the playing with acid ep is an unapologetic combination of raw-deep techno and electro-pop influenced house music. and as we know it already from mr. sisman, he loves to combine different genres and create his own distinctive flavor! the a-side playing with acid is a pure synthie-baseline dominated track whose melody is drilling through your head that you won’t forget it so easily. this trapping hook line is coming along with some poppy vocals which are giving you a slight association how is it feeling being totally vaporized in the mind. we say, be careful when you playing with acid!!! feel today think tomorrow has a different approach while the ingredients remain the same. it’s the more melancholic side of this record but also filled with pure energy. the guitar phrases creating those feelings between the struggle and harmony in life, and like the title indicates: live today, pay tomorrow! no return no regret is the more poppy side of this record. the b2-side is a mixture of modern elements bonded with the refreshing vibe of the contemporary 80s influence. this fusion is a naive approach of pooling different styles in one track with the intention to create something timeless. even its poppy elements doesn’t seem to allow it we going to love it for a long time and we hope you will feel the same! this three-tracker ep contains the well known “mr. sisman-ingredients”. although the difference to his previous productions laying in its details. find it out for yourself and above all: enjoy it!!!

roman iv is roman flügel. surely, you dont need us to sing you the praise of his various styles. under his roman iv moniker, he always pursued his more contemplative dance floor side. la paloma is exactly that kind of perpetual and lulling marathon jam that recollects his testament tracks (check playhouse and ladomat for further listening) and needs to be followed all the way through. having said that, sa caleta looks for a more immediate hit. with a rigid punch and some greasy layers, you get romans take on the current or recurrent slow motion disco craze. straightened out and cut right to the chase. finally, lucy rolls over again, starts where la paloma ended and makes its way up to a subliminal hookline. for all you digi kids: look for the bonus beat mix tool supreme called 123 bpm. roman iv president

the latest release from the fizzy duck label features carlos nilmmns and ian elgey joining forces on two deep sounding pieces of music. with a nod to their love of the detroit sound on >its because< and >thought pattern pt. 2<. the third track on the 12 inch comes from a new band intrasound from glasgow with mesuma on remix duties.

remixes von nicolas jaar und ed bangers boogie-revivalist breakbot! matthew dears black city is an opus of bacchanalian futurism, then second single >you put a smell on me< is its presumptive climax—an unblinking industrial march to the center of the brains most neglected corners. its drums are militant, its pace is unswerving, and the squarewave synths that start falling like mortar shells are searing and wide-eyed. then theres the marbled voice of dear himself, pent-up and sexually charged, beckoning you for a ride in his big black car. its the sound of staring down the part of yourself that you are most afraid of. if that seems too daunting, theres always the dub version. when mirrored through the eyes of others specifically wolf + lamb prodigy nicolas jaar and ed bangers resident boogie revivalist, breakbot — >you put a smell on me< starts to feel less lobotomizing. jaars version is a sullen, scratchy, headphone-ready beat trip—atmospheric vibraphone samples here, stilted kicks and snares there, all of it amorphously affecting together. and breakbot has no problem hamming it all up into the sort of blithe electro-funk every prom night deserves.

hailing from the free swinging hills of san francisco, established dj and producer alland byallo has created his own unique sound out of a love for deep, soulful house combined with more edgy techno moments. from his own successful nightlight label he has released a quality catalogue including his debut artist album last year. of course it was only a matter of time until his talents were noticed by poker flat boss steve bug, and the results are this briliant 2 tracker, which also marks alland‘s arrival in his new home of berlin. welcome to town mr byallo! ‚discovaries‘ has a healthy amount of berlin‘s reduced techno affinity rooted within its phasing, growing p-funk waves. tense, moody and of course drenched with attention to detail, this is a grower in the true poker flat style. the sunken, murkier undertones of ‚shipwrecked‘ begin as a darker moment in techno, however gradually unfold and surface into a shining, tripped out afterhours anthem.

>les patates<, the fresh new rrygular release by tassilo, one half of pan-pot, is not an homage to french agriculture but a serious techno smasher with high club potential. at first, theres just a nice party atmosphere and … then this rough beat drops in! the small potatoe >petite patate< surprises by adding rudimental elements like the hihat and snare drum always a little late. but you have the feeling you havent missed something yet. this number just sneaks from behind and lulls you in with billowing pads until you sense the final rave sound as a self-evident consequence of it all. the message by g-tech right before the drop proves right - there is not a lack of vibration here! its all about the mixture … and in this case its just felicitous: male choir, clanking cymbals and finally the riff that this track subsists on. tassilo knows how to send the short melody-figure through the different stages of sound design, even though it might have been lively enough without it. this gives the big potatoe >grosse patate< a level of dynamic, that most contemporary techno releases just dont provide.

the owl, like its namesake, sits in the shadows. its deep, dubby bassline lazily rolls along, as our franco-italian alliance layer their percussive elements. string stabs usher in the smooth-keyed break, before that weighty bass drops back in. on the flip, txarco brings a sinister, somewhat industrial brand of funk, provided brilliantly by its growling, predatory bassline. as scything sounds, breathy vocals, and a variety of drums rolls lunge from the darkness, and fade just as quickly, we are constantly guarded by our bassline protector.

tiagos >disambiguation< begins like an aural sea, with a surface made of synthesized swells that rise, fall and crest again. beneath these waves are briefly clangorous metallic noises, searing electro hisses, long-armed synth stretches, and a never ending beat. there are moments of understated beauty floating through this perfect marriage of disco and house, sounds that are there and gone: a bassline that stairsteps and synthetic strings that follow suit: playful keyboard melodies, and percussion provided by tiago himself, who fell in love with music when he learned to play drums as a kid. >nada a perder< (>nothing to lose<) shies away from the extravagance suggested by its name and instead feels relaxed – at least at its outset. against shape shifting synths and the sound of piano house, percussion takes a leading role here, including finger snaps and clanging cowbells. the energy builds to a peak but, even when things are at their most frenetic, this track never loses its studied composure. tiago mirandas remixes and releases have been issued on disco devil, italians do it better, rong music, ene, hands of time, eskimo and claremont 56. he is one half of dj duos slight delay, the sea power & change, and mendes & alçada, and also handles mutiple duties in the band gala drop. tiago has been djing seven hour sets almost every weekend for more than a decade at the infamous lux in lisbon, portugal.
