the first new material from tim deluxe in a while and well worth the wait with these 2 heavy heavy club cuts. jack it started life for tim as live jam on his machine drum analogue box of tricks and shows in its energy and swing. mupod continues in much the same vein, all analogue beats and bleeps, big in the boxes of groove armada, chris fortier adn x press 2, and the title was inspired by the lovely little creature shown as the packshot here. last copies !!

tiefenschoen as an lp is a complete whirlwind having a raw and dirty feel to it, albeit without losing focus on the original and well-known jean f. cochois sound. this is an extremely strong club album with a powerful recognition value – not only musically, but also visually thanks to its album cover. it stands out as it has an overall concept and, throughout it, a sense of continuity from beginning to end.

clone crown limiteds first one! its jellphonic and zacky funk force throwing some bad ass dirty p-funk influenced tracks so sick that we had to put them out! a-side cut >100 snakes< rocks it like the neptunes could do... dirty and effective! on the more softer side we have >sexxy< that is sexy as freaky can be. both tracks has zff on the mic (backed up by reggie blount and st liquor-ish). and lets not forget the only one! the best cut in years (and for sure on this record) if you are into love songs. serious heat from these funkateers!

vol.2 with remixes from robag wruhme, reboot, martinez !! hailing from berlin norman weber and marco resmann released an album in autumn 2009 that can be easily called a success. this is why there were no problems at all to find an illustrious circle of remixers. jena-based robag wruhme already contributed one remix to matthias tanzmanns >bulldozer< in 2006. the old partnership was now revived and robag wruhme was asked for a reinterpretation of another moon harbour track. his version of >mr. jack< captivates you with its mix of funk and darkness and has an overwhelming effect on the dance floor

after a short hiatus, misericord is back for 2010 with more off-kilter missives for back-room massive. first up is the welcome return of mr al usher. his >gnanfou< ep christened the label back in the summer of 2007 and was rapturously received / licensed all over the place. al has been quiet of late, busy being a dad and doing a proper job, but prins thomas put his out of the loop gem >lullaby for robert< out again in 2009 to much acclaim. this new release >hilversum< is very much its follow-up: al at his most unashamedly gorgeous, re-contextualising an old deutsche neue welle melody and weaving it into a characteristically intricate and beautiful piece of post-balearic loveliness. for the flip we commissioned a remix from one of europes most exciting new producers, barcelonas john talabot.

big with markus kavka, dubfire, aki bergen, andre kronert, feygin, sebastian roya, secret cinema, pierce, moodymanc and many more.
dont miss the next long awaited vinyl on night drive music. this time we gave the black gold to hypnos. hypnos (deepology, urbantorque, myhouse, box music) presents now his 2nd release on night drive music. he graduated from music school in guitar, and played keyboards in a rock band for a few years. he was member of the infamous >demoscene< in poland - an unofficial and underground group of like-minded people mixing music with street graphics. the original is a never ending dream between sweet deepness and techy elements. its hard to describe the tune. just listen please! remixes are coming from pawas, subsky and stefan mallmann.

tbilisi? no, it’s not italian for >excuse me<, but the georgian hometown of our new 9volt family member. please heartily welcome mr. odilavadze, from labels like fvf, lazerslut or frontrec better known as lado! must be a really influencing lil place of earth, because the >elephant on speed< ep with its outstanding emotional bricks of pumping dark matter paints some heavy accents in the landscape of electronic music. go visit it and take an acoustic walk!

>scrub the tub< with its crowd baiting piano riff and floor shattering bassline is a certain smash. as is >beat the dirt< on the flip with its disco flavoured, funk guitar mastery.

after having contributed a remix a few years ago, green are proud and excited to welcome deetron for what is his debut release with us.
whether its creating the deepest and most soulful of house, or the grandest of emotional techno. deetrons ability to craft exquisite, timeless pieces is second to none.
>deetron is not only a good friend, but also an amazing producer who keeps the detroit spirit alive in his music.< - joris voorn
on >collide< that detroit spirit is evident once more. a majestic track, thats power is held in its euphoric synth arpeggio, which builds constantly to its climax. >dark matter< on the flip is a bassheavy, almost steppin affair, with a darker atmosphere that is brightened temporarily by the lush pads in the break.

after kaºpars futuristic >music life< 12 inch, its the perfect follow up... it displays groovements pluralistic and confident attitude that good music neednt be of one genre alone and that there is much to gain from being open minded and eclectic as a label. another solid and dj-friendly 12 inch from portugals finest that is sure to reside in a lot of savvy djs record bags.

wicked & haunting 12inch, the latest in the italians do it better series. many will recognize from dixons >body language< mix cd, but now its released in its own right w/original, accapella, + >in the headlights< & their cover of bruce springsteenÆs >im on fire<. limited w/deluxe packaging.

remixes by lawrence and kink & neville watson from two tracks taken from the currently released album >before we say goodbye< following the beautiful and outstanding achievement that was donnacha costellos >before we say goodbye<, an album so rich in heartfelt musical messages and true vintage synthesis, we present remixes courtesy of highly respected producers lawrence and kink & neville watson.

live at robert johnson is proud to present a new record by one of its most revered family members: roman flügel. a long-term companion of ramona and already offering records like on the balcony (solyent green, playhouse 041, 2000) to her praise in a very early stage, roman dedicates novel sound research findings to her young and boisterous label. and what a bass heavy beauty he created!

theres no sign of a financial crisis here. the formatik corporation is launching its next high dividend share packet on the vinyl stock exchange.

as dj and as live act, frances nhar certainly knows how to tweak the controls. hes transmitting his message on every channel, sporting his personal recipe for dancefloor mayhem, consisting of driving beats, melancholic euphoria and some other ingredients meant to stay a secret. on diverse labels like mobilee, plak or modelisme, the former member of the 22 crew shines with his panoramic view, melodic depth of focus and concise footwork. that love has to be rewarded, so kompakts jörg burger, a.k.a. the modernist throws in one of his rare remixes for close up, delivering that bonus punch and enhancing the originals charm with the razor-sharp musical scale hes become known for. its a born winner for wir

now techno has its own fair trade. basmati, the new label by gabriel ananda (artist direction) and marcel janovsky (management), does not indulge in pretentious bragging. epic tracks are rarely seen in such a light-footed mood: gabriel ananda shakes his hairdo again, this time in cooperation with floor hope daniel mehlhart and the pioneers from superstitions quazar. the results are two genre-bending tracks, whose friendliness makes them look like 10 minute long wolves in sheeps clothing. pinpoint funk with panoramic view, coming from true masters of all classes.

who said the wait wouldnt be worth it? the brothers in house fritz zander and sven von thülen have made themselves somewhat scarce over the past year. after having impressed in 2008 with their ep >get up<, remixes for artists including ratman, elphine and oorsprong, and tracks on the watergate 02 compilation, their audible activities the following year remained confined to fritz zanders superb 12 inch >connection< and successful compilation appearances on >ten years cocoon ibiza< and >time warp<. now there is finally something new, and the current zander vt release certainly lives up to the promise of its title: >some more< picks up where >get up< left off. its fourno-frills house pearls prove resoundingly that continuity doesnt have to entail standing still.

this debut lp by innergaze is chock full of rugged hand played analog synths lines, primitive drum machines, haunting vocals, and psychic jewelry. call it synthwave, call it punk, call it metaphysical body music or at this juncture whatever one sees fit, but this duos music goes beyond naming names for the sake of it. from the freaky, unrelenting opener >no shame< to the chris & cosey-esque >la la la<, this record creates many aural worlds to inhabit and explore. the title track >we are strange loops< bubbles at a slow, hazy drug induced bpm, while >illusions<, with its distorted almost guitar-like synth lines and stripped down 808 programming, brings things right back to the dance floor. the ideas and feelings executed here are a direct outpouring of what happens when the machines are turned on, played and recorded.

this is massive, its being battered by everyone and their dog, andy c, hype, grooverider, friction, blah blah blah. on this collaboration with interface, dj die is at his very best. anthem.

rage & error music, the new east german techno label of stephan strube and cj key presents its first release with tracks by well known artists like sascha ewe (abstract, abschuss) , aaron the pimp (50hz, killaz) and the first release of 10/40 live act perry. the record is completed by a track produced by the label owners.

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!!

weapon x strikes back with 4 brand new high quality hardcore tracks on the mighty enzyme records imprint!!where my party people at is mainstream hardcore at its best and will definitely get the party started with its uplifting melody and slammin kicks.for the haterz uses the same ingredients as where my party people at, so no further explanation needed.the flipside starts off with i come for blood which is bit rougher than the tracks on the a-side.distorted kicks, cool arrangement, spooky vocals and it s non-stop energetic drive make this track one off the highlights on this release.finally bad boy, another mainstream bomb which already receives full dj-support by all the hardcore jocks in the scene. enzyme records does it again!!

a lot has happened to blm since his last solo ep back in 2008, fatherhood being the main factor for his absence. thankfully the nappy changing musical magician didnt stop tinkering with his synths in that time has come back with a string of forthcoming productions that mark a real step up in quality for him. so, first up blm releases on home soil on his own fof label. garage is back keeps things silky smooth – simplicity is the key here, the percussive elements building slowly before the evocative vocal of suz brings a hypnotic sexyness to the whole affair. step to this is the logical progression from his last fof release (believe in love) with its skippy beats and uplifting stabs being a sure winner for the coming summer. mulletover promoter / dj / all around sexual dynamo geddes provides a rather splendid dub remix of garage is back on the flip. cleverly using key elements of the original to keep the flava but dipping the tempo to give it more of a groove based feel. we think its a high watermark for the man.. check it

this third release in the series mostly touches on the magic of jamie principle. however, this ep opens with a sublime deep vocal track originally released on trax sub-label saber in 1991 by ace & the sandman (who are also responsible for the virgo four tracks). featured here are some of jamie principles best tracks, produced by frankie knuckles. as with many trax releases, there are lots of unreleased , reel to reel only mixes around. we came across an unreleased version of >bad boy<. the quality is not at best, but we included it nevertheless. magic stuff!

4th release on nerven offshoot steckdose. marco remus always picks his tracks carefully and test it on his numerous gigs all over the world. only the tracks that rock on the dancefloor make their way to his labels. this time its violent sally first release on steckdose, no stranger to the scene this duo rocks the house with the hulk ep. check it!

the third record already by thomas brinkmann on curle. these tracks are taken from his forthcoming album as soul center, the moniker he is best known for. on the flip for the very first time a remix on curles main imprint. its by uwe schmidt aka atom™ aka atom heart aka senor coconut aka about a zillion other disguises. we are very proud to have him on board! we also wanna grab the opportunity to thank everyone that came out to the curle night at maria in berlin with thomas and uwe last week, you were great!

banging hardtechno remake of the 90s classic stereo murder. hard rolling beats and a monster break. at the b-side a live version recorded at miss djax live performance at u60311 frankfurt germany. just in time for the summer festivals and heavy supported by pet duo: >its a hit!<

exploits >beatbull< is an excellent modern tech-house/techno crossover stuff with catchy vocals, filtered piano chords and tribal groove. on the other hand >no harm< represents the dark side of techno music with its rumbling bassline and crazy siren sounds. last but not least is the epic remix of >no harm< served by one of most respected uk techno producers perc (perctrax, ovum, clr). he rebuilds the original into unique underground techno madness - big one!
support from umek, pig & dan, marco bailey, alan fitzpatrick, gary beck, joseph capriati and many others!

diplos amazing remix of the yeah yeah yeahs >gold lion< finally gets its long awaited debut on vinyl. internet freaks and hollertronix heads have been going crazy over this mix for quite some time. one sided and highly limited, youd be crazy to miss it!

nice price deal !!! >titan<. sometimes titles are just perfect, arent they? its a huge, sprawling beast that seems to inhale every mutant strain of bass music it can and exhales it in one exhilarating 4:20 blast. it opens with ominous rumbling and 8-bit bleeps (and crickets?) before ambient chords ascend out of the depths, dragging a twisting electro synth with them. that pulsating, spiraling synth slinks its way through the gossamer membranes of the track, contracting and expanding as needed, its bulbous, serrated ends emanating industrial howls like ghosts of rave sirens.

robert hood continues his >perpetual masters< series with classic re-releases, this time its the first ever monobox release >realm<!

more than most, jason amms work as solvent embodies the original ethos of >synth-pop<: hook-laden music built lovingly out of the buzz and hum of analogue synthesizers. solvents newest full-length on ghostly international - his first in nearly six years - is called subject to shift, and its title reflects the changing tone of amms music.

nice price deal !!! aka jks first release on throne of blood is a reflection of years in basement with sequencers, apartments with macintoshes, van front seats with laptops and international flights with xanex and most importantly his long-standing friendship with the rapture boys, culminating in this vito roccoforte produced stinger. its a world-wide dedication to all his dj friends who rock it out night after night, luring people from their broadband lives to sweat it out and transcend in clubs, bars on beaches and venues across the planet.

after a couple of succesful releases on her label vinyl did it and the limited series they are changing it, dia comes out with the next single on this limited one sided series (300), twelveinchesoflove. moody pads and a walking bassline simmer under sharp hi hats and playful cymbals as serene chords steep the vibe in the ambiance of a hot smoke filled room. all of this is brought to a boil as urgent vocals and whoops get slapped around by chicago uprock hand claps. jazz grooves drift back in on top, rounding out this versatile house stormer aimed squarely at those who dont need to be told twice that its time to dance

scream is a trip through vocal-like echo chambers that is losing itself within the depth of reverb, its oriental aesthetics being similarly credible as the tidy bass beat is. nobody else has catapulted baby fords ifach sound into the year 2010 as consequently as sis did.

datenzauber is electronic dance music following the traces of krautrock-electronica. datenzauber is a crossing of 1/8-bass rock beat and shuffle romanticism with a minimalist disco feeling. datenzauber takes kraftwerks and klaus schulzes analogue soundscapes over the digital highway back on to the dancefloor again. datenzauber commutes in an electric car between cologne and dusseldorf. datenzauber has fun with the necessary seriousness. datenzauber is free of sampling residues, yet nevertheless its historicising, because datenzauber is non-retro, electronic music feeling from the 1970s for 2010. happy new year.

dirtybird has always been synonymous with sweaty bass-lines, fun ideas, and bumpin funk. this 5 year label birthday package is a celebration of both individuality and achievement as one of americas quirkiest imprints arrives at its first big milestone.

vakant is continuing its valt series with nico purman after dario zenker’s excursion into detroit techno some months ago. nico, who just moved to berlin recently, drops a dirty disco bomb which is our soundtrack to your spring! enjoy.

danilo has provided us with a steady and heady floor filling ep which further confirms his status at the top of the techno food chain. this double header starts out with prima, a tension-laden track that reaches its release to stunning effect.

with safer 001 davis links to details. house music which sounds like the fulfilled promise from 1992. music that has grown up and hasnt suffered any loss of its beauty. vocals which make you want to shout pop and carry a groove in the heart that has never been more challenging.

midnight marauder, is rolling techno fuzzing with a teetering bass line, reggae sirens and jamaican patois adlibs. typical of the two involved, its decidedly grey area - impossible to categorise if you tried. one thing about this track is certain though – its primed for peak time on the dancefloor, with swung drum rhythms and a snaking acid line that wont quit.

label boss fluen delivers the latest ep from barcelona label vinyl did it, and takes off with the title track, guayaga. warped marbles burble along shiny dance floors giving way to flashbulb lights as classic house percussion washes the room. soon we are sweating to a workout of layered synths and vocal hooks as the energy builds. a clean cut house vibe sure to sit well in a properly constructed set. the edit by youandme gets dirtier with some pop-locking stuttered uprock snare hits, head bobbing bass, and dramatic fuzzed chord stabs. vocals get snipped up diced with in background chatter as percolating random percussion and dubbed out drums fan the flames of this eyes-closed groove. ripped reversals give way to a main line that will have the drink stirrers throwing their hands up, with a final warm wash of smiling chords perfect for bringing a set to a close, or taking it to the next level! on the b side, give me mores spastic clatter forms the backbeat for this classy house slab, with sleek dubbed out organ chords descending into the depths only to resurface under a vocal call to action. a short break and an oldschool snare lets the house heads know its about to get serious. the hook of yeah! drops over a bouncing bassline, soliciting whistles and whoops from the crowd, with hi-hats and added organinc percussion fills jacking up the oldschool vibes

who is maetrik and just how does he get his beats and bleeps to sound so good? we cant be the only ones asking this question as recently eric comes on a string of big hits for audiomatique and mothership. erics been banging out stormers of late, but with dumb-unit its different. here we do our typical du magic and present something a little bit slankier, a wee bit dirtier, and a tad more tripped out. something that dancers and freaks can equally get their head around, something that will blast through the sound systems straight through the summer! and so without further ado we suggest you dig in ... and get ready ...

symp.tom welcomes another new name on the imprint, this time its nobody other than sei2ure who strengthen our ranks!
known for his very raw distortion-packed style, sei2ure aka jan kamphuis already gained a lot of fame with his smashing tracks at enzyme records (pneumatic transmission, zinc, armorgeddon and rocket fuel to only name a handful). we always felt that sei2ure would suit perfectly on the symp.tom label and therefore we are very happy to have him unleash his newest ep >noise pollution<!

we present the first in a series of re-issues with >a deeper ground ep< by repeat orchestra, originally released in 2000. needless to say, it sounds no less fresh ten years later. the four-track ep is the work of stefan schwander under the repeat orchestra name. in his repeat orchestra work, schwander distills the finest elements of detroit techno and chicago house into a sleek hybrid that honours its roots while casting its gaze upon the future.

we are proud to introduce 2 new talented guys from amsterdam: max & kalle aka specker music. 4 amazing tracks inspired by a crazy weekend stay in ibiza. it has a massive tribal remix by our matteo milleri. b2 track >allright< will be released as vinyl only.

ltd 2010 repress !!! marco carolas string of recent releases on plus8 and his own 2m imprint are now effortlessly hurtling forward under the weight of their own momentum and the bloody cash ep shows no sign of relenting. in fact if its possible, this collection of four new combustible tunes adds another dimension to his already substantial repertoire. on the title track bloody cash, carola immediately shows his intent, letting fly with a spiraling tribal groove full of bright, crisp percussive elements that stretch skywards towards the sun. the tough, earthy beats keep everything rooted to the ground as he taps into some age-old hedonistic urge, creating a universal groove that rolls out across the oceans before breaking on the shores of each continent with an all encompassing call to dance. the main body of the track incorporates a straight synth stab doused in reverb that sets the scene for the finely crafted main keyboard riff, which is an accomplishment in itself. alternating between two complimentary parts, it elevates the backing track to another level. perfectly balanced and enhanced for maximum danceability, its without doubt one of carolas finest works to date

first on decks.de !!! fresh from the success of his recent release for uk label renaissance, solee readies himself to drop >legends<. a potential festival classic. its vast, expansive feel, matched with its cruise- liner horn riff and dreamy synths, create a true hands in the air, big top moment. on remix duty parquet have done us proud by drafting in palette recs. boss john tejada. the us legend reworks the original with his trademark tech-funk touch. the steroid abusing horn riff is more menacing than ever, and early in the mix works brilliantly alongside smooth, deep synth stabs. this is tejada at this best. monster-release! support by: joris voorn, motorcitysoul, james zabiela, fergie, paul ritch, nick warren, samuel l session, christian smith and many many more
