we are pleased as punch to have this one on dissident. as you no doubt know one half of naum gabo is mr jonnie wilkes aka one half of optimo and unless i got totally the wrong end of the stick when i spoke to jonnie this is the first actual naum gabo release after a bunch of excellent remixes. its a low slung groove for all proper dancefloors with a rubbery bassline, an uber-classic arpeggio, a super-cool synth line and all manner of dubby spacey trippy business going on. i guess this one will fly out even quicker than usual so get them skates on people

essential tech-house interpretation of the jazz standard! tip ! at the core of >take five< is a warm, fluttering piano loop that wouldnt sound out of place on a nina simone record. around these rich, faintly jazzy chords, jona builds a thrillingly direct, percussive track which nods to the passion and polish of classic 90s house music. a shuffling snare pattern and a tough, buoyant kickdrum combine with the keys to give the dancefloor a workout it wont forget. this is smart, optimistic stuff from jona, a ready-made soundtrack for hands in the air at late summers parties. >sunset< is a darker but no less seductive affair. its skeleton is a supple, minimalist groove, undercut with a raw, rangy bassline, and topped by tight snares and a steady, sibilant rush of hi-hats.

big with: dubfire, chris lake, john digweed, nic fianculli,.. 8 sided dice recordings is the record label of uk producer and dj alan fitzpatrick. hailing from the techhouse heartland that is southampton, alan stands shoulder to shoulder with fellow local boys james zabiela, dave robertson, james talk and tom budden as one of the producers at the vanguard of uk underground house and techno. locked and loaded for launch with two primetime dance floor bombs strapped to its under carriage, 8 sided dice will make a real impact with fans of deep, driving, melodic techno

italian based eclipsemusics second outing comes with a serious release courtesy of passenger, young and talented producer of night drive music and paul macs sula muse fame. this two tracks 12inch confirms his interest in the deepest and more underground side of detroit techno. on side a >the fall< reveals the smoother side of this upcoming producer: a deep melodic techno builder, with emphasis on atmospheric strings and arpd melodies, developing on a funked up techno drum section. the flipside brings you the burner of the 12inch: >the funk< is an a epic, slow-growing and booty-shaking techno track with all the elements in its right place: a killer bassline over an effective drum work takes the flight with the building strings. namedropping would be useless in this case, just check with your ears

two great edits produced by rotterdams loud-e (who previously did an amazing edit release on magick edits & bear funk). this disco connaisseur is sharing some of his sickest and hottest edits, made out of several tracks which once were available as b-side, as obscure library album or just in very limited quantities. he is one of those young guys influenced by the scene around clone and cbs and dj’s such as i-f & baldelli. but now its his time to shine with some amazing edit work! hey mr dj!!! this song is just for you!

after his last years hit fruchtalarm/city rush boogie dub on farside records, its time for another herb lf solo joint. sunliner takes you on a trip and has a deep melancholic mood with a perfect catchy piano hook. when the reese bassline drops, sunliner takes one step further and creates big dancefloor pressure. expect a very special moment when you play out this wonderful piece of music in the club. dub is the word in down to the sound?. some cheeba cheeba business, a smokers riddim, delayed stabs and a killer bassline is enough for this dubby deep tune. ring the alarm! one of the most groovin 4 to the floor trax that has seen the light recently is named shake!. with a few dubby dancehall snippets and a slightly metallic sounding synth, herb lf adds live percussions from tim friesenhagen. even the sound of a lighter (!!) is used as a rhythmic element. get your groove on this perfect percussive atmospheric tool. shake it, baby!

2008 is going to be the year that joker blows up. hes already been causing a stir with releases such as the recent anthem gully brook lane on soul jazz & last years sell out stuck in the system on earwax as well as remixes for smd i believe & roni size dont hold back (...that frankly, make the originals look weak!). its high time now for joker to unleash his finest works yet on his own brand new bristol based imprint kapsize. kapsize 001 launches with a double aside - both tracks showcase jokers insanely genius production style, a kind of melting pot of influences that take the best elements of neptunes, dirty south & west coast hip hop instrumentals - big !

a seriously heavyweight plate from twisted, a member of germanys acclaimed dutty dubz crew. erratic is a grimey monster of a tune, the subtleties of the intro with its pattering bongos and stealthy pads giving no indication of the carnage to come. dropping harder than a ton of bricks, the filthy buzzsaw bass comes swooping in beneath slamming halfstep beats, squirming between the enormous bashy snares and sinister electro riff topline. on the flipside twisted goes a little more leftfield, tapping into the chiptune flavour thats currently permeating the dubstep scene via the likes of rustie and zomby.

rong music introduces a fresh new artists to the label - mr. chin. originally from new york, now based in sunny southern california, chin is a world renowned disco dealer to many a high end disc jockey. from heavy hitting disco breaks to body and soul type music, his first outing has a little something for everyone in the shop. this release contains a cheeky jungle brothers sample. this a very limited release, so pick it up quick before its gone!

brilliant tracks again from lovebirds and winding road records. in the shadows is a pumping techno-house track with explosive vocals - and possibly one of winding roads best moments to date. it has all the right ingredients to be the tune of summer 2008, but theres no doubt its still cool enough for the discerning dj to play over and over again. this is going to be the >track of the night< in hundreds of dj sets over the next few months! theres also an instrumental included, under the name avlium. here, the vocals are stripped away to leave a slice of robot disco which is absolutely essential for the darker club djs. this track has been getting massive international dj support. the final track on the package is sarice, which injects a scintillating dose of growling underground darkness. winding road do the business again

its made to play so take it to the club, wind it up and and get your cheap thrills. jesse rose and herve combine forces for the first time on made to play with two whacked out club smashes. supported by marc romboy, deepchild, djulz, lee mortimer, riva starr

daniel mehlhart steps up to the plate for kindischs seventeenth release, origami - an exquisitely deep, languid house jam laced with strung-out, processed spanish guitar and gently euphoric xylophone arpeggios. >origami< is languid, yes, but not exactly laid-back: its held up and propelled forward by a gently vibrating lattice of kickdrum and snare hits, through which a dubby, molten bassline and taut, time-keeping chords dreamily but determinedly flow. the perfect soundtrack to the mixed pace of summers long days and even longer nights. mehlhart harks back to his acclaimed past releases on karmarouge and neutonmusic for >alles klar alles easy<, which sees brushed drum and shaker sounds edited into a quietly explosive techno work-out with serious swing. >fata morgana< begins in a more linear, four-to-the-floor style, but those percussive flourishes quickly accrue into something more strange, and then out of the ether comes an entrancing, south american-style chorus line. the voices mingle imperceptibly with woodblock strikes and caustic snares, injecting the techno dna >fata morgana< with a sick and psychedelic voodoo funk. with this 12inch kindisch once again proves itself to be a preeminent stable for experimental, expressive dancefloor music, and daniel mehlhart affirms his status as one of our most daring and capable producers

after the extremely successful filmmusik ep on rompecabeza, holgi star is back with >not for me<. the ep consists of two tracks with technoid crossover potential! on >not for me< bits of african vocals meet functional techno and seamlessly weave together into a quite sexy and rather danceable number. all the while >dont feel it< coolly, calmly, and with just enough repetition, establishes its class and style without unneeded flourishes. both tracks were extensively tested by the rompe crew at sonar 2008 in barcelona, and reactions spoke of the potential both of the artist and the ep itself!!!

a summer treat from code red 4 unreleased monsters on one 12inch. a selection of the best fothcoming us house hits on one perfectly formed ep

having had great sucess on labels such as microfon, grandpetrol and style rockets daniel steinberg is now one of the main representatives on front room and with this release delivers another innovative new twist on house. with the summer sounds of his last front room release, cobra limbos, still resinating around clubs, festivals and house lovers daniel delivers two more huge tracks. >uptown< has the beats, bleeps and bass that daniel has become renowned for and with its cut-up vocals is catching peoples heads just like he did with his hugh smash >pay for me<. on the flip >revival< is a more hypnotically deep groover that builds continuously yet remains innovative and intriguing from begining to end. daniel steinbergs releases are being played by the likes of ricardo vilalobos, luciano, claude vonstroke and richie hawtin to name a few and his talents continue to blossom with every stroke. many of daniel steinberg productions are main stays in the sets of label boss jesse rose whos global popularity is a product of his individual style and fresh take on music. this release is another illistration of jesses a&r skills in full action. artists such as jesse rose, solid groove (aka switch), trevor loveys, deadset and style of eye are just some of the artists that have released on front room recordings in the past

played by sebo k, karotte... layo and bushwacka! are equally at home turning out summery housey affairs as they are peak time stormers, and >now is the time / the time was then definitely fits into the latter category. a double header, the loose concept behind the release is to represent the sound of the dancefloor now versus the sound from a few years ago. >now is the time< has its feet placed firmly in 2008 - a crisp, clean techno bassline, topped by hand claps, snatches of breathy female vocal, and full of an irresistible array rattles, whooshes and other indefinable sounds that the duo seem to pull from the depths of their imaginations. it breaks with some simple electronic sounding chords and a stirring martin luther king sample that makes this record so memorable. >the time was then< is based around that same sample, but gives a cheeky nod to a few years back, with a bassline and keys that wouldnt have sounded out of place on their seminal ‘night works’ album. it never goes too far towards nostalgia, though, and either would rip up a late night dancefloor

played by karotte, l.garnier, steve bug, sebo k, mike shannon, layo, d julz !!! we are pretty sure that maetrik sent us his latest ep from a grow room orbiting the earth. his space chronic ep combines the innovation of techno with a sense of fun missing from your average four on the floor banger. its a little shocking, but the results have been exactly what wed expect from the dallas native - mass freaking on the dancefloor. the albums lead single, sex with bass, explores the type of low frequencies that usually occur when suspension bridges tear apart. all the while a subsonic voice repeats its desire to have sex… with bass! stab jockey throws a techno curveball at the start, utilizing rhythmic synths over a simple beat. dont trust it! midway through, the line clears out for full-frequency busting bass drops. on the flip, crawl machine immediately builds a head-nodding groove that wastes no time firing off its boosters – half the track is a sneaky buildup. by the time the kick slams back in, youre already back in orbit. cuban born maetriks techno pedigree is bulletproof.

frankfurt based producer and dj michael stapf delivers herewith his incredible 3 tracker debut single >spiritkeeper<. after some netreleases at musicartistry records and a cooperation track with axel sohns on teknite records - this is definitely his fulminant solo start in the vinyl world. the label hymn >spiritkeeper< shouts out a message to the club scene - >we wont accept that changes are a fact of life !< >unconscious minds< is a modern tech housy vocal track - that will for sure find its way to your ears. >jingle the bell< comes up with a lot of crazyness. be aware and just keep the spirit alive!

first up on the a side is the bouncy sound of boogie down, co produced with he of liquid v fame ? dj mosus. with its hip hop flavour, acid overtones, squelchy leadlines and rumbling bass this is a track aimed straight at the dancefloor without compromising on integrity...boogie on down yo!

essential acapella selections, perfect for advanced djs & very useful for producer

medias have stated recently that the number of millionaires is still rising every year... funny or scandalous? while others are sitting greedily on their fortune, one of them, kind of musically obsessed to say the least, keep to share his assets with the lucky few that will hold a part of his twelve inches serie in their hand. still getting another round of applause for the third offering that impressed quality djs from all circles (from milez benjiman to marc mac, passing by prins thomas to chateau flight), the selfmade millionaire is gaining more supporters release after release. this time, he is tributing the greatest boxer of all time and his legendary shuffle techniques in a funky boogie way with nearly 8 minutes of irresistible feelgood grooviness. many things have been said about this highly influential character, but few know that his boxing moves would have originated some freestylin’ breakdance figures. one more reason why the milionaire wanted to encourage you to do the ali...wait to flip the record to get another punch! even gave you diamonds is a restless groove that could transform an egyptian mummy into a marathon party goer with its numerous hooks, clavinet stabs and powerful catchy vocals. the tune seems to be about a guy whos really tired of his posh lady who cannot get enough of all her fancy gimmicks. would our milionaire gone autobiographical on this one? who knows...

aesthetic audio continues on its quest to present quality music from a deeper perspective with its 5th release tokyo deep. tokyo deep features the blissfully deep music production of rondenion (tokyo, japan) on three amazing compositions...the underwater journey continues... for fans of moodyman, jus ed etc...

trouble in paradise is a pure testament to the roots of r&b flavored vocal house. in the danism vox the sweet simplicity of the standard boom & clap intro is well paced and leads into the funky bassline, while the enchanting chords set the stage for the outstanding vocal performance of sean williams. his r&b flavored, distinctive phrasing is mildly reminiscent of john legend, however, seans earthy quality shines through. the passionate & insistent lyrical melody never fails, climaxing into panoramic bridges while the memorable bah de dahsintermittently dot the production. its texture is a reminder of sophisticated nyc funk a la early 80s prelude/west end/sam records with a modern house feel. djs, if you want the ladies on the floor, trouble in paradise (danism vox) is the one to drop!

support comes from ivan smagghe, valentino kanzyani, danny howells, tiger stripes, james zabiela, agoria, stephan bodzin and many more... dieb audio continues its mission to provide quality, futuristic electronic music with this undeniably cool and diverse package. two artists that need little, to no introduction for those who follow cutting-edge house and techno- dj yellow and perc.

berlin based artist namito, well known for his releases on kling klong or great stuff with his first ep on blufin cologne. >clouds in my coffee< has a great melancholic & dreamy atmosphere, some will think its trancy - we call it modern for sure! perfect tune to let yourself go and raise up the hands! with martin eyerer a good friend was invited to deliver an additional remix for his ep that suits the underground taste more then well. hypnotic, repetetive & strong in drumming this should be blasting speakers all over the globe. massive one! hope u enjoy!

energie in bestform is glad to release the producer and dj tobias lützenkirchen. actually well known with admirable releases on labels like great stuff, blu fin, selected works and his own label platform b. the main track is called >afterhour is the pusher< and will - we guarantee that - not only >push< in the afterhour .... the bonus track >ketron< will turn every dance club - with its forward-pressing bass rhythms - into a tropical drum jungle. the two >afterhour is the pusher< remixes of flea and baby chris complete the record!

tema 5 is the definitive journey into its world made of electronic funk & soul, or as they call it in detroit hi-tech funk

alec storey has been making quite a name for himself in techno & electro circles since his debut release on kracktronik back in 2006. renowned for his no-holds-barred live shows (which often incorporate stunning demonstrations of his considerable skills as a drummer), he has also been making considerable progress in the studio, with new equipment and new techniques. the troglodyte ep is a distillation of all these things and more, and although calling it refined might be stretching it a bit (its not called the troglodyte ep for nothing), its certainly fair to say that he has honed his sound into a near-perfect combination of brutal beats, bowel-busting bass, and mind-mangling sound design, all presented at slightly-higher-than-normal tempos, guaranteed to get the pulse racing. for remix duties we called in two heavyweight producers! carl finlow (aka silicon scally) has been turning out immaculate electro, house and techno for over 10 years now, with releases & remixes on such respected labels as mute, warp, playhouse, satamile & scsi-av . here he turns troglodyte into an off-kilter, but driving, electro workout full of twists and turns. kracktronik fave volum doesnt disappoint either. he drops the tempo and increases the spook factor by a few notches, and as always his intricate programming reveals layer after layer of nutritious electronic brain-food.

second solo album by mario pierro (aka raiders of the lost arp) of jollymusic / mat101 fame. tema5 is the definitive journey into its world made of electronic funk & soul, or as they call it in detroit hi-tech funk.

after four very successfull collaborations between jason little and dj rush / felix krocher / pet duo & kaoz that shook the hard techno scene to the fullest its now time for jason to go solo. and with great succes too! he shows his special hard techno sound with a wink back to the classic hardcore style, but still sounding fresh and new!! adrian valera remixed the title song to top it all off.

the legendary club u60311 in frankfurt has opened up a brand-new hotspot for minimal right in the heart of the city, going by the name of 311. paired with this, an affiliated label - dreielf recordings - has also been launched. the residents michael kohlbecker, one part of the saafi brothers, and frankfurts newcomer peter eilmes are releasing the fruits of their cooperation in their home studio, and putting an already-established scene hit onto vinyl with - tabasco. the original of the record impresses with its anthemic character, which may have been due to the fat bass-line and the striking trumpet. despite its monotony, a real jewel for every record case and just the stuff to get happiness dripping from the club ceiling. the remix by alexi delano, on the other hand, is somewhat deeper and more melodic at the same time, but still contains all the ingredients necessary for a proper shot of tabasco. sonic monogamy or fat kick basses make this remix unique. the dominant trumpet and the scraping percussion of the berliner andre crom make this remix an absolute guarantee of ecstasy. tabasco is hot and burns like hell!

after two amazing releases on the enemyltd series by zahn and recently the joel mull its no time for the labels strongest artists to represent on this various artists ep. rob dowell steps up from lobotomy records, alessio mereu from italy already showcased his perfect style on analytic with his bomb ep. decimal is the next hype on enemy, he is doing extremly tight production and will have a new wave of very high class tunes released after the summer. his track on this ep is a good taste of what to come! last but not least zahn himself tops it all of and goes on where enemyltd 04 left us. in not so many words: a great ep!!!

long and sleepless nights were the inspiration for slaapgebrek wich means sleep deprivation in dutch. the results of these sessions are two moody & hallucinogenic tracks, wich represent a state of mind only to be experienced after many restless nights. the original mix with its freaked out shuffled drumpatterns, rave stabs and maximal modulated bassline is peaktime dancefloor fudder for any crazed techno night. frustrated bleeps and fx give it a nervous twilight zone like feel, climaxing and clashing throughout the track. the flipside takes things on a lighter, more emotion ridden tip. the rhythm is stripped down of all nastiness and the bassline friendlier and melodic. halfway through the break the violins kick in, resembling the break of dawn after another night of turning and twisting without getting any much deserved rest. perfect afterhour material.
