a fresh new three album track remix ep containing mixes by charles webster, the long term deep house maniac who serves to be an incredibly good choice, will saul, label owner of simple and aus, and a final remix by the man himself phonique. the charles webster remix of worked it out starts off as a nice thudding beat with a crisp minimal click on the offbeat, until an echoing vocal sample swifts in and around starting off the soft but pushing shoulder shifting bass line. smooth piping reverbed blows outline an almost euphoric melody, a very trippy and atmospheric tune with soft cymbals pattering away in the background. soothing sounds and housey chords mix perfectly to make a chilled out dreamy beach tune with a nice progressing beat. a swerling bridge with a 90s casio chord melody steps in and then fades out to the echoes of the vocals drifting silently away into the sun. on b1 its the will saul remix of bang. dun, dun, dun, dun, whoosh! - then a descending high minor melody calling with an electric bass response. squeeky bird sounds and weird reverbed chords makes you feel like you‘re in a crazy dream falling and falling yet the beat keep you stable and composed just about! an out of tune dungeon computer game. strange but true and also very interesting!! and finally, on b2 its the phonique version of space cruise feat. gui borrato. trekking through a spaceship journey tune with mechanical functional sounds releasing here and there. a repetitive two noted melody comes in and fades out, is replaced by an array of spaced out tones, arrivies back again, meets up and resounds into a fanc

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

next up on steppasoundz steps c.a.b.l.e. from brazil with the massively disgusting burning a multi layered blend of infinitely rolling breakbeats, filtered percussion & stomach churning bass. this track will pull your pants down & smack you across your arse with a plank of d&b varnished wood then spit in your face while you cry about it, in other words, its a little bit nasty! soul on the flip takes things a bit deeper with driving bass and skipping drum patterns. a soothing alternative to the blistering a side

tango saty is a crazy dancer from klaus schulze. sounds huge on 12 inch and causes a storm of freaky dancing on the more discerning dancefloors with a wonky yet eminently groovy rhythmic structure and synth brass riffs that echo around in your head for days. when the bass drops its smiles all round. b shock r.e.r.b. is a classic piece of doomy yet uplifting cosmic elettro from london town that was a baldelli and loda play. getting increasingly hard to find on the original 12 inch and even if you do, this one is mastered with more weight and clarity

whilst their debut release i like you is still causing havoc on near by dancefloors, shimon & nixon are proving themselves a force to be reckoned with! the burbling bass of around the edge is destined for sun soaked dancefloors and homegrown festival tents alike. shimons junglist influences are evident, minimal keys sit atop warped synth lines and atmospheric vocals. whitenoise is more the instant club banger, taking a trip to the darker reaches. the omnipotent bassline pulsates its way into your brain and builds to a powerful breakdown then bashing its way back to the jugular

the 2nd part of the >the life we choose< album series starts with >who you gonna call?< the track is built on a melodic 303 acid line, which, followed by two more 303s, results in a complete acid trip. >the life we choose< is compelling, with its 117 bpm electro-groove, strong bassline combined with a hypnotic acid line, right up to the triumphant string finale. >itz ok (club mix)<: sombre, expressive vocals mixed with acid beats make one thoughtful, despite enjoying the whole package in a >hardfloor will survive< club mix! attention! full album cover comes with part 3!

remixes by woody & dj t.!! dj t.s >the dawn< 1st appeared in may of this year, and it was a 12inch of typical poise, refinement and dancefloor effectiveness from the get physical boss. now its time for the remixes... first up, t. himself tackles >jam pot<. the resulting track is the dancefloor monster that >jam pot< always threatened to be - subtle, intelligent, but unswerving in its intention to rock the floor. for a fresh treatment of >the dawn<, t. hands over the reins to woody, the legendary former resident dj at berlins e-werk and a true architect and soldier of the citys techno underground.the result is undoubtedly psychedelic, but the powerful, minimalist drum patterns and sheer production panache mean this will be a big hit with the feet and hips as much as the mind. this is a remix 12inch you cant afford to miss - two very different productions which will stimulate both cerebrally and physically. the dawn is here!

peter has already graced numerous labels with his unique yet constantly evolving studio style. after numerous afterhour situations with the doc family, we caught wind of grummichs new productions. we believe that the therapy ep continues the development of peters uncompromising underground productions. the title track, therapy, is a nine-minute journey into dancefloor dynamics. slowly building with concentrated breaks, therapy works it out and then some. label boss, aaron hedges, has been giving it heavy dj support and has found that its been quite some time since well placed hat crashes can drive an audience crazy. minimal, sexy and sleek, but at 7 minutes the listener is surprised with a full on new-rave lead which takes the song in a different direction. get it is a nice tech-house track with building percussive patterns and highly concentrated synth breakdowns. this track is only for the most sophisticated house djs that know when to drop a track like this. drymilk is a seriously twisted hard minimal track. nasty sound effects and perplexing pitch shifts will keep you guessing. is it genius or insanity? you be the judge!

in late august we have a fresh and exciting new release from stockholm based dj/producer mikael jonasson. the title track >twenty-se7en< is a cool happy and trippy reduced techno-tune that makes you wanna move your feet, while >dig deeper< on b1 is a dark tune with a nice bass-chord. >chlorophyll< perfectly rounds off this great ep with its dark dancefloor ability. earlier support comes from tom clark and james flavour

for a few months already, sub static boss falko brocksieper gradually intensifies his work on the own label again. with driving minimal-beats and melodic instinctive feeling the track >slap< from the >slap/happy<-split-ep with mia evolved into a gladly played hit, and also the following >esque ep< was not just a dayfly in the worlds dj-bags. in this phase the new 2-tracker >blackbox< is now brocksiepers ultimate confession to the dancefloor - fully functional without lacking his organic, trippy branding. the track >blackbox< presents itself as a dark, impulsive techno mover, ripped open again and again by intuitively placed accents, only to remind itself of its own irresistible drive and to cultivate it over the full length. meanwhile the b-side >off the rack< is toying with the idea of chicago house groove, driven by a rebelliously grumbling bootybassline and bleepy excursions into the world of weird soundscapes. on both tracks falko brocksieper celebrates the sign stimuli of techno, delightfully modest and coupled with his signature bubbly, sculptural sound.
