>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.

2010 has seen some juicy, off-the-wall techno/electronic vinyl goodies from the head space of little nobody, including the acclaimed >metropolis how?< and >robota< records - with remixes by the likes of james ruskin, justin berkovi, inigo kennedy, dj hi-shock, si begg, patrick pulsinger and steve stoll. but its the originator of the tracks who continues to push the perimeters, recently leading hi-shock, the prolific innovator behind the essential elektrax empire, to suggest that honestly, i think you are at least a couple of years ahead in your musical vision compared to other producers. little nobodys alter ego andrez bergen has also had his head buried this year in the creation of a hardboiled/noir/sci-fi novel called >tobacco-stained mountain goat<, and it was in the midst of this project - with these heady influences - that the get away from it all 12-inch project came to light. thus we got on board bas mooy (planet rhythm/audio assault) and dave tarrida (tresor/musick) to do the two scintillating re-takes here, which are downright brilliant. meanwhile little nobodys troll, on the flip-side, lives up to its claim: its hardboiled and devastatingly dirty electronica. all up, think streetwise, smack-your-glitch-up techno - dark, uber-bassy, dirty and pulsating - just the way we like it, with sardonic samples and a freestyle, postmodern attitude thats invigorating. matched up with the cool artwork by marcin markowski, this is an essential slab of wax for 4:00 am head-caving techno!

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.

audioflys supernature label welcomes into the fold zev of wolf & lamb with his betta days ep. arguably 2010s hottest name, wolf & lamb has become a force of nature in electronic music with a string of cross-genre releases from their deftly curated label and amazing parties worldwide. zev, alongside w&l co-owner gadi mizhari, has become synonymous with quality and this debt ep for supernature shows why. alright is a track that sounds like little else out there but its warming vibe and clever touches make it seem nicely familiar. its folksy licks, brutal snares, chopped breaks and ethereal r&b vox are all combined with the sort of alchemic skill that has made the wolf & lamb outfit so exciting.

kelley stoltz, now a veritable godfather to the burgeoning san francisco under/over-ground (folks like thee oh sees, sonny & the sunsets, the fresh & onlys), has blazed a path since the late 90s as a home-recording guru and multi-instrumentalist. and, while stoltzs nigh-religious reverence for all things beatles, beach boys and kinks has been at the fore on recent albums below the branches, sub pop) and circular sounds, sub pop), his new album, to dreamers, blends a bit more post-punk abandon into its layered everyman pop. this new album maintains the kaleidoscopic core of sounds heard on kelleys previous records, while making inroads into new sonic terrains.

first on decks .de !!! sa007 sees perc and modern heads create the first collaborations between these two core stroboscopic artefacts artists. the result is a punishing hybrid of percs dubstep tendencies and modern heads cutting techno. a-side >mendax< is cavernous. built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. if the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. the atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. b1 takes the eps atmosphere and adds abrasion. in >percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. closer >moddax< errs on the eerie. it skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. all three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. sa007 was craftily mastered by artefacts mastering, berlin.

sincopat continues its own path on with its second release from french talent darlyn vlys. soleil levant is a lavish work with three original tracks and an affkt remix, all showcasing different musical shades.

the fourth release of >lets get lost< which is started by mule musiq and force of natures kza. this new release is by thomas bullock aka rub n tug/map of africa/welcome stranger. i guess the introduction about him is not necessary. on the a side, thomas edited the disco version of jolene by olivia newtone-john (original is country rock from dolly parton 1974). on the other side,its a rework of >zz top-i wanna drive you home < . this rework is like a thomass original production.you can comparevery easily with map of africa or his another moniker. both tracks are very cool rock oriented disco stuff. dont miss this rare thomas s edit release

for a full underground effect, these remixes will not be available digitally, this is strictly vinyl-only business, one for the heads!! the 12inch features remixes by superstars 4hero and m&ms john morales – pioneer of the remix and original producer of jocelyn brown, galaxy, five star, shalamar and all things disco fabulous! recorded in brazil, far out monster disco orchestra is led by azymuths jose roberto bertrami, arranged by arthur verocai and rios finest musicians including and a massive, hugely talented string section – its supersized disco like youve never heard before

repress - folk-jazz composer/arranger arthur verocai was born in rio de janeiro. he has created challenging arrangements and compositions for brazilian artists jorge ben, ivan lins, leny andrade and gal costa. in 1972 verocai recorded a self-titled solo lp. it is a stunningly innovative effort. it puts verocai into a rarified field with the heavy string oriented music of charles stepney, david axelrod and frank zappa. released in a period marked by the brazilian military government, the album fared poorly. following its re-issue in 2003 the album has become a highly influential oft sampled classic (see ludacris, mf doom and little brother). the performance of this seminal 1972 record in its entirety brought the capacity luckmann crowd to a stand still. according to verocai, >he had never played the record, alive or dead!< the music has been mixed by verocai himself in rio. history turned on its head and musical justice served.

the monkeys & what what records are back with a new release! saturday night fish is a catchy big band house track inspired by 50s style rocknroll & swing music. the second track, zumbador, is every bit as dancefloor compatible as saturday night fish. its more with a latin summer feeling therefor with a massive techy pace.

cultivated electronics is proud to present its 5th release of the year with a remix ep of electro legend carl a finlow aka silicon scally. the track >process< was originally featured cultivated electronics ep 004 and is now re-worked by label head sync 24 and electros flavour of the moment, finish duo morphology. sync 24 opens up the ep with a dark techy interpretation of the original track. chopped up voices, quirky analogue bass lines and spooky atmospheres rolling along at 135 bpm are the order of the day. hot on the heels of two storming eps on abstract forms and an impending long player on zyntax motor city, morphology (aka crc) turn in an analogue machine funk remix combining dark and trippy tones with subtle melodies, sharp beats and tight sequences.

dan ghenacia steps up with a stunning double solo offering with globe/ gentelized, a rare production offering from the parisian star, this time lending his brand of freakiness to cdr (crosstown digital rebels).globe takes you on a 3am dance floor journey, its steady, driving beats riding the swelling ambience of abstract melodic effects. psychedelic elements cry in unison, unravelling a blanket of swirling synths in descent and crescendo. gentilized finds its heart in heavy rolling bass and soothing sumptuous female cries. inspired by dans kwality years at batofar, this production oozes aquatic sonics and fluid chords, with deep and dreamy layers of percussion pouring over each other. forging an effortless groove in the bass and hypnotic sweeps of melody, this track is dan at his playful best. one of the undisputed pioneers of the parisian house and techno scene, dan ghenacias influence is undeniable. through his productions, revered freak n chic label now in its seventh year, notorious parties at batofar in paris and legendary residencies around europe including dc10 and space in ibiza, he has remained at the forefront of the scene for over a decade.

its been a while for mr lovebirds and also the label teardrop to serve some fresh slices of homemade house jam. well, we think it better not to put out every bonus beat we program and rather wait until we have something that really deserves to be thrown in todays pool of musical randomness. do we sound bitter again? sorry, for that … must be the age. so … love & happiness. yeah, i want that and probably everybody does … well here ya go: its a slick slow house bomb with proper oldskool 909 drums and some sliding portamento chords that wont never leave your head!! at least until the breakdown when this track takes you even further back in time to that beautiful intro that has rarely been used more beautifully. its been tested for months now by vincenzo, phonique and mr bird himself and devestated every floor so far. let me put it this way - this is biiiig!!!! flipside is the rain - classic 90ies deephouse with a touch of kerri which we all love right? this has the typical lovebirds warmth that we all need in these modern techno times. and in this autumn too. none other than mr steve bug took care of the remix and delivered a superb very 90ies new yorican style version. keeping the warmth he added some percussion to it and turned this into a nice builder. enough talk … we are very excited about this release and looking forward to your full love on this one. play it loud and everywhere!! and maybe even chart it if youre a good lad!!

the green door studio opened its (confusingly black) doors to glasgows vibrant music community at the end of 2007. set up by three glasgow-based musicians emily maclaren (michael dracula/the lady vanishes), sam smith (mother & the addicts) and jamie greer (park attack), who, sick of using other peoples clinical digital studios and being told by engineers >you cant do that..<, decided to create a musician-friendly space where >actually you can...<.

sehou provides a prime piece of forward-looking nostalgia for metrolines latest release - the cirkus ep. up and coming talented producer from the south of italy, sehou was the man behind the massive track -she makes me wanna dance- released on all inn limited thats been hammered by ricardo villalobos in pretty much all of his sets for the past year. the brutal bass groove of cirkus calls to mind classic era r&s, its choppy vocals and skittering percussion give the track a raw funk, while its smooth pads add a reassuring, warm flow. untitled to her is a relentless robert armani-style workout, with a hint of chi town bubble and funk. driving chords and simple drum patterns give the tune serious momentum, while plenty of breaks in the rhythm and machine gun buildups make sure you dont lose the groove. romanian producer cristi cons aka case sensitive. after dark interpretation is a gloriously meandering, fluid rework. its subterranean bass bumps and heavily filtered synths give the track a brilliantly disorientating feel, while its tense and tight arrangement bring a tense energy.

4 selected tracks have made it onto the black gold, even were loving each tune like a mother loves her umh.. eight children. mathias kaden presents a 2010 edit of his first ever solo release ‚circle pit (va004!), followed by dewaltas deep but yet bouncing stinger bell string experience. on the flip, this ep opens up with nico purmans ‚xpress yourself which lands somewhere between rick james and francois k, followed by alex smokes freaky ‚i-73 night which, to quote vakant pal tolga fidan, is a reminder of how dance music should have been if it hadnt gone generic…its punk.

italoboyz are being remixed by material artists - its like friends,lovers and family for the track >dont talk< that was the main anthem of summer 2010. remixed in the smoothest way possible by the glitz (voltage), simone tavazzi (playmobil) and basti grub (desolat).
