every new record from mlz doesnt quite fit in with the one that preceded it, something thats doubly true for this new release.
>one cycle< on the a-side is probably the most fierce, stripped and relentless thing ever released by modern love, a classic reduction that rotates into a frenzied crescendo of panning stabs and a washed out, chugging backbone that doesnt let-up throughout its 7 minute duration.
the flipside offers up something else entirely, a remix for hitherto unknown operator dj ghosthunter, a shady character not quite ready to unmask himself. mlzs remix offers a dank and obliterated house configuration, guided by the spirit of theo parrish and kdj.

claire ripley, the london based producer and head of her new phobic records imprint sends over some lovely extended and hypnotic vibes with this magnifi cent four tracker, backed up by a classy remix by gorge of 8bit and cecille fame. just the right medicine as summer draws to a close! written and produced by herself, & engineered by justin drake, the ep captures all the excitement & promise that a new artist like claire exudes, plus the added bonus of having one half of peace division working the mix. nice! title track labyrinth introduces us into claires world with long, drifting arrangements full of tension and cooly placed melodic sentiments. deeply tuned, chunky drums work the floor while only a handful of carefully selected elements sing their tune. flirting between sunrise synth-lines and tingling atmospheric moments its a haunting adventure into modern hypno-house. gorges remix of >labyrinth< lifts the energy a notch with his trademark rolling drums and pushing energy from the very start. using the main hooks with discretion this 8 minute drum workout is a tough, addictive and essential club tool.

the third release on phonica records is a no-nonsense dancefloor burner from matt tolfrey and d. ramirez, with a stunning remix from lauhaus. >bounce to me< is an exquisitely stripped-back jack track, propelled along by clipped vocal samples, deep chord stabs and funked-up percussion - as the title suggests, its all about the bounce. thats really all you need to know: this piece of music has been built for the sole purpose of dancefloor devastation and will do the job every time. matt tolfrey is the boss of leftroom recordings and one of the uks most compelling young dj/producers, with releases on crosstown rebels and viva music among others. d. ramirez is of course the sheffield-based producer behind numerous hit tracks for labels like four:twenty and his own slave recordings. the flipside remix comes from underground hero lauhaus, a dutch producer whos made quite a name for himself with his muscular productions for labels like remote area and intacto. here he toughens and tightens tolfrey and ramirezs original >bounce to me< into a rolling techno groove, adding real drama and forward thrust with crisp hi-hats and stacatto percussion. the soundtrack to late summer has arrived. bounce!

>faith< is a breathtaking longplayer that is produced from the early points in my life where house music at the time between 1994-1998 was more open and free without styles clashing and everyones sound was being admired. the productions and concepts for this projects was created by...

many deeply-rooted house influences from blaze to larry heard
to early 1990 strictly rhythm housegrooves witth strong influences of jazz
to intelligent new jakbeat tracks with less noise clatter and more
soft-cushioned toned multi-melodies and vocals.

also everyone s life in general.
the world we live in..

the souvenir family grows this fall with two newcomers, two new remixes and four new essential tracks. please welcome warmly the global vibes of cj jeff, m-in and the remixes of kreon and sante on souvenir021. on the a-side, souvenir celebrates the talented greek electronic scene. c.j. jeff aka nikos safiris gradually built his sound through releases on his own label rythmetic or modern love. he signs a remarkable entry on souvenir with the a-side >got 2 b<. wave your arms! take a breath! a tribe of incredible bongos players is surrounding you, when the vocals of an androgyny shaman start compelling you to a never-ending foot-stomping dance. you are right, where you want to be. damn, it s >got 2 b< a hit. kreon has been raising a fair share of interest lately with appearances on cecille numbers, resopal or robsoul. he signed a dub remix and a perfect spell to push to the party to the early sun shines of the day. back to germany on the b-side! m-in aka marcus ferdinand from frankfurt has spread his talents of producer with releases for off or get digital, and early supports from josh wink, johnny d, thomas schumacher or dj t. again we are talking about deep sensations, haunting vocals and afro rhythms. the tiefschwarz brothers have hammered >capetown river boating< on the road this summer. now its your turn to send a blessing from south africa to your crowd. studio partner of ali and basti, philip sante maier has barely released >dambalaa< last month, that he is already back in production. nobody will complain. his trademark, a clearly percussive approach and a dizzying groove particularly fitted with >capetown river boating<. 2 - 2, we gladly go overtime!

there seems to be a bit a mystery around this record... and let some of this mystery remain. these two remixes of a fairly obscure song are pretty well known to the public, as for the last year or so they were regulars both in live sets of jacek sienkiewicz, and dj sets of ricardo villalobos. right now these two artists share credits to this obviously outstanding release. >pilgrim< is a vital, mesmerizing, uplifting piece of magic. one can assume, telling from the unusual, muezzin-like chanting, that it comes from some forgotten oriental library record... in fact, it was written in the seventies by a respected polish composer and extraordinary vocalist to the words of 19th century polish poet. now you can hear its modern, not to say futuristic, interpretation by two of the most forward-thinking electronic musicians from two different sides of the globe.

2009 is quite obviously sven tasnadis year, having already released five eps this year on cream-of-the-crop labels like pokerflat, ornaments and liebe*detail. each ep revealed a new facet of the leipziger, riding the nuances between the 4/4 beat. after his ep >down under influence< with juno6 in spring 2009, tasnadi now dishes up his new solo ep on cargo edition. >what we do< is a classic housetrack - very deep and peppered with vocal shots that hold the tension of the track over its whole length. it s smooth, yet deliciously rough around the edges. >amour fou< on the b-side surprises with a very compact rhythm - around the driving bass drum fly percussive elements, all tied together by a reduced bassline, some interspersed vocal samples and deep chords.

first single extract from the forthcoming new album >a< by the one and best french electro krautrock ambassador of its time!

throughout the past years, antonio has been steadily collaborating with luca bacchetti on all his past productions and remixes. anyone who has even the slightest interest in minimal / techno will know the famous tracks resulting from this collaboration: rolling brooklyn -trust - what ever or remixes as stop (bini martini) - crazy madness (poul ritch), its your time (planet funk). at the end of summer 2008, antonio decided to change and put out solo projects, using his experience and his technical skills as great support for this.

the brazilian hard techno tribe returns! this time its for the european connection to rock the house hard! brilliant style for the big rooms out there! raw!

for its longed first compilation the spanish / portuguese 30porumalinha brings us four very special tracks in vinyl, played by djs and tested amongst crowds in several dance floors around the planet from some of the hottest and original newcomers and established artists in the electronic dance scene…

you can see it on the news: techno is back, but for those who never left, techno is not a word that comes and goes, techno are forward thinking sounds that you cannot do in one minute with some libraries and cheap software.this brand new release from our factory shows exactly how techno should be done properly, in the interpretation of kike pravda, eric krakeroy and label owner oscar mulero as a remixer.main track, >fear is the enemy< has a direct approach, clean and driving drum programming grows and grows helped by shuffled 909 hats, leaving room for a razor sharp synth line that opens and closes filter in the most dynamic way you can imagine. just a few elements put together wise. oscar reinvents the original in a very similar way, but slowing the vibe a bit, adding more percussive details and elonging the structure, again the sound is clear , punchy and hard, as you like it.closing release, >jaque a la reina< its a 21st century acid track, modern, sharp in sound and agressive in low end, concrete claps, metal hatz and driving synths makes this one the perfect compliment for this stunning release.

big with: mahan, noir, compuphonic, trickski, oliver klein, butch, dynamodyse, thomas schumacher, llorca, laurent garnier, ante perry, ... lany recordings is ready for its second release this new belgian label is all about releasing club music in all its glory. veteran belgian dj s maxim lany and red d (of we play house recordings fame) are at the helm and aim to bring tracks that they love and play. after the first dancefloor bomb by matomic it is now time to take things a little deeper. label a&r maxim lany has teamed up with both ramon tapia of great stuff fame and belgian prodigy kolombo to bring you his vision of what house music is all about.

incl. rmx by kabale & liebe and julien chaptal big with: mike shannon, luciano, loco dice, laurent garnier, matt star, butane, seuil, seth troxler, brett johnson, someone else, brothers vibe, daniel dreier, jermemy p. caulfield, mark henning, dario zenker, lee jones, luciano, lee van dowski, kabale & liebe, ryan crosson, anthony collins, lee curtiss,... after a short summer break cityfox is back with its 3rd release. gregorythme, who already released the last record as one part of digitaline, shows us again his masterskillz on the synthesizer. the result of the close relationship to his hardware is the futurama ep. the title track indeed sounds very futuristic, maybe retro-futuristic to quote lee jones: >it sounds like a 1970s idea of the soundtrack to the future. this would be the easy listening music piped into every monorail in the future cities.<

big with nick curly, agoria, laurent garnier, anthony collins, nima gorji, jimpster, tim xavier, brothers’ vibe, einzelkind, ripperton, dyed soundorom, italoboyz, stephan bodzin, thomas schumacher, gavin herlihy.. alexis bernard aka seuil returns to freak n chic this autumn with freak & violence, a two tracker which sees the parisian leader-of-the-new school take his impeccable sound into deeper, late-night territory. with huge releases for eklo and moon harbour since his last ep for freak nchic, seuil has been a name on many a lip and with this sort of output its likely to remain that way. warm synths and a tweaked spoken vocal dominate the title track, freak & violence. the synths have an ethereal, trippy vibe but are balanced by ultra-dry, ultra-groovy drums while the vocal slips in and out of audible significance which makes for a hugely absorbing listen.

originally released on the yellorange imprint, yo1004 circles mustafa feat. natalia was pure afro electro house a decade before its time!

the revitalized moton records inc continues to impress and inspire us with amazing, undiscovered music. despite being launched in the early nineties, the label have only released just over 20 records. a co operative effort between djs diesel, harvey, faiths dave jarvis and ashley beedle, this label has expertly amended and extended many and undiscovered, lost classics. as passionate afficionados and music lovers, their selections for the moton treatment are always dealt with respectfully, and released in super limited quantities, hence the crazy prices they reach in the second hand market! this expertly crafted trio of cuts is right up there with their best ever releases. from incredible vintage soul to priceless soulful disco, the moton biys have unearthed yet more buried treasure for your listening pleasure the quality is off the scale, the pressing is a one off - you know what to do!

whos there?, the fifth release on phantasy, is a collaboration between one of the uks finest djs riton & one of next years exciting new artists primary 1. the track was charted at number 1 by a trak and has has major dj support from the likes of brodinski, crookers and annie mac. annie has also been playing it on her radio 1 show, and its also been racking up radio plays from the likes of nick grimshaw (who made it his single of the week), rob da bank, pete tong and sinden. released on a limited edition of 500 screenprinted sleeve / white vinyls with a sleeve designed by fergadelic.

the model is no stranger to gigolo, and we (the royal we) are no strangers to the model. as a supporter of gigolo records, you, our fated reader, should be familiar with our protagonist previous gigolo adventure. but in the words of the late george harrison, >all things must pass< and with this in mind we would like to reintroduce...
the model doesnt just have his own sound, he has in fact attempted to engineer his own genre: dark-techno-baroque. the sound has been crafted through a penchant for aristocratic mannerisms and a passion for high fashion and low fetish. it also happens to pretty succinctly sum up part of his unique personality. set against a backdrop of refined charm, there s an underbelly of something dark and brutal, which is possibly the best way to describe the a-side >in the night<. in many ways this could be seen as a return to form for gigolo, immediately poppy but structured as a classic song with haunting vocals underpinned with a driving techno rhythm. to further consolidate the techno aesthetic look no further then >flex on the b-side and you have a pounding track that could have been played by daft punk in 96 and will probably find a home with a diverse selection of djs today.
the >vampire funk ep< is the first release from the models forthcoming album on gigolo. the concept is in the same vain, but delves deeper into the dark-side of the model. exploring his fetish with the night and creatures that occupy its opulent corridors. like classic transylvanian tales the music from this album will present details that set the mood and composition to create tracks with narrative regardless of lyrics or words. the result being music that moves both bodies and minds and stirs the blood. as pretentious as this sounds the author of this mindless scrap of paper has the fortunate privilege of speaking from experience. as the mind that moves the hands that moves the keyboard is the mind that is being moved by the music as i type and you read. so we are already part way there. the rest will unfold in the coming months.

nice price deal !!! the disco spaceship series continues at a pace with number 3 containing the club and dub mix of peter richards walking in the neon. with its classic line speeding through the cosmos under pinned by its tough electronic groove and dark italo synths.. this 12inch caused pandemonium when originally released in 1983 and is now incredibly hard to find. its prototype techno feel and space age lyrics are bound to win new fans today. lets go to another galaxy...

this track has been getting rinsed out by dj ez regularly on his kiss 100 show and out and about in club land. hes had it on an exclusive for about 2 months, and hes sure made use of that honour. its an instant crowd pleaser with its catchy female vocal hook & fat production. kinda like bassline garage meets booty breaks...

a record which was originally slated for the fee records catalog, but never made the cut... one life to live was released on the private 4 reel label in 1980, limited to local distribution of only a small handful of copies. its back, but we are sad to say the artist passed away last year before he could see his re release realized.

ricardo jefferson is a producer and dj based in manchester, england. the four tracks on this ep demonstrate a distinctive style. the roots of his sound are in funk, disco, space rock, prog rock, but he has melded them into a sound that is more than just the sum of these elements. this is funky, bass-heavy, trippy techno for the dance floor. a1 a brutal truth. this is a big tune that builds relentlessly. the track has an inclusive, celebrational, feel which simply invites everyone to lose it on the dance floor. 124bpm. a2 persons unknown. this tune doesn t have the relentless build of a brutal truth. instead, this is a tune to drop when everyone on the dancefloor is in the zone and locked into the groove. a finely crafted trip created with multiple delays skittering around the sound field, anchored by the funky bass heavy groove. 123 bpm. b1 the egg part one. a track employing a tight kick drum of differing weights to propel the groove, overlayed with a circular keyboard motif. on the off-beat, add the processed sound of someone hitting a metal sheet, and viola! - one aggressively funky dance floor bomb! 123 bpm. b2 god of the machine. this track has a simple 4x4 kick and handclap pattern pinning down a delicious oscillating bass line, under a classic descending four chord circular chord progression. off kilter ride cymbals give the track its backbone, and fluidity. ricocheting handclap delays add dimension. sly stone would be proud of this groove. now get on the dance floor and strut your stuff! 119 bpm. the cover shows a still image from the music video a brutal truth directed by ricardo jefferson and laura lee.

after their hello kool nice release (quintessentials 02), the jagged boys are back with another fab production. the main track langenthal is, well, we dare to say tech house with a disco feel and ready for club use! new york pumps it up even more and is another proof that jagged are well diverse. after quarion and harry swinger on qe 02, its now up to the mighty brothers vibe to do the remix - he delivered a monster mix! and let all of us know about his house and our house!

culoe de song is a new star from africa. his debut release on innervisions was a one of the best deep house record in this year. this second release is following his unique african touch deep house sound. a side, the fallen shiren is a emotional deep house with the sound of piano loop, african instruments and fantasy african chorus. this track is very modern and first class african taste house music. b side, inspiration is very simple but effective percussive house track. its a timeless dj tool.

first up on the a side is do one a shakey, stompy belter that winds up into the first drop of gargantuan bassweight with the sound of a racing motorcycle having its heels nipped by a dyson hoover fuelled on uranium. it then continues to pile on the pressure pound after pound in a frenzy of sidewinding synths and sliding pentatonic scales.

moment psychedelik - its all said in the title, actually. it is easy to get lost in all those layers of mesmerizing sounds, swirling around you like bubbles sparkling out of a well shaken bottle. just before you lose it all, the kickdrum comes in to lead you to a winding path... upon glistering plains, through some dry land into a multicoloured jungle, populated with all kinds of textures and sounds. enter the next level - like the title suggests. the flipside utilises a more pronounced guide: mr talking drum himself will show you how to find the clearing of enlightenment where your heart gets filled with joy and your feet cant stop dancing. supported by lopazz, ame, tobi neumann.

two more tracks from the much anticipated italoboyz full length cd >bla bla bla<. those of you familiar with italoboyz music will be aware of its roots in the fusion of organic with electronic sounds and the collision of genres as varied as jazz, opera and folk with what we traditionally know as house and techno. >techno tower< and >chinese< are a real testament to the italoboyz musical roots and will surely turn some heads on the dancefloor.

seth troxler, shaun reeves and hector present >the royal we<, and their fiendish release party guilt on crosstown rebels will crack the smiles of its most discerning listeners.

in 2006, gregorythme released a stunning cannibale ep on minibar, with its famous echolalie lyric, twisted, flying track and croque mitaine, a dachkantines favorite. we were looking forward to bring the minibarian back home, et voilÓ ! together with his alter ego laps, digitaline is on boardà and offers a must-have-ep. 080808, side a, is a 12 minutes pure digitaline stylistic signature, feelings going crescendo, keeping up with you to take off. its a minibars special. oz factor, side b, is a new refreshment: a drop of mental bend, a peel of cadence, and a river of pace

ultimately affected by this summer, remain records 007: cool water e.p. by axel karakasis aims at keeping the vibes high for the new season. this year has been exceptionally good for axel and remain records, so this release is more of a celebration signalling the third year of the label, which grows stronger by the day!this 3 track e.p. opens up with orisha on the main side, a spot on tune with a straight kick and minimal techno elements that gradually build up to embrace the main character sample. at its peak, the track makes an inspired transition into funky, laidback groove, where axel works mostly present day sounds with 90s intelligence! the second track on the side is a far cry from orisha, as let it roll does exactly that: it rolls! bassheavy throughout, it s an insane piece of work with smart cuts that give way to teasing loopy layers. this track is a burner for serious techno players!the title track on the remain side begins as a mishmash of dub groove, and a rolling bassline. midway, cool water has an extended cut that builds up with relentless sirens and its menacing bassline that seem endless. in a word: flawless!

fourth release from do easy records comes up with an outstanding deep and groovy anthem delivered by no one less than producing genius daso from cologne. >im over u< catches listeners and dancers immediately with its remarkable piano hookline and a perfect timed groove. the funky vocals push this track to a real house bomb and will set each club and outdoor floor on fire ! again, daso at its best ! on the flip you find a percussive remix by romanian sound wizard ali nasser. ali well know for his very own house style gives the original a more oldschool and rough touch that is pushed by nice funky bass. for sure one of his exceptional remixes. we love it and we hope you too !

perc trax returns with its 30th vinyl release with a split ep showcasing the works of both its newest and most established acts.
first up is ben gibson with 2 tracks that feature on his forthcoming perc trax album >in a realized luck of immanence<. both tracks instantly demonstrate what made jeff mills sign ben to his axis offshoot 6277. bens sound is a dense, atmospheric take on the now-classic uk techno sound of surgeon, regis, ruskin etc and both the rolling bass of >vanished between< and the sharp stabs of >wirklichkeit< prove that he is an artist to watch out for.
on the b-side label boss perc hooks up with the labels canadian connection metalogic to deliver 2 tracks that flit between broken beat and 4/4 rhythms with ease. both tracks feature an attention to detail that both perc and metalogic are known for with endless dubbed out synths and effects keeping the tracks interesting but never getting in the way of the crisp beats. these tracks have already been road tested around the world by perc in recent months and will be a key part of a launch party for this ep in toronto in october.

big with: luciano, laurent garnier, anja schneider, lauhaus, lee curtiss, slam, jimpster, federico molinari, dyed soundorom, clive henry, sasse, burnski, kiki, rob mello, italoboyz ...
>crewcuts & curls< is the greatest collection of prime productions yet from wales hottest new export, tomdemac. vibrant and dynamic, >crewcuts & curls< engages the listener in the moment. drawing you in with its tauntingvocal, demac creates a youthful sound that is masterfully produced, the product of a gifted musical mind. sweet humming is the haunting close, gradually filling the speakers with deep and prolific doses of swinging chicago-inspired house to create a whirling and effervescent creature. this is the third and most striking package that tom demac has produced for murmur.

side a) thats right...you ve got it. norman connors smashing disco classic re edited, re spiced, re salted... viciously groovy, in super value style. side b1) getting in the mood. does really get you in the mood to dance, to groove and, of course that other mood too... its a mid tempo jam with synth strings and piano beating the cadence. side b2) learning is the final track of this 45. soft, slow and slightly blue. grand finale.

its been almost a year since the release of efdemins fantastic two-tracker >america/the pulse<. >america<, that was also used on his curle mix-cd >carry on...<, became quite a big tune and even ended up on the number one spot in groove magazines chart. therefor efdemin preferred that no-one touched that track anymore, and we decided to give >the pulse< a remix treatment. john beltran is a highly respected artist that has been around since the early nineties - r&s! peacefrog! styrax! - and when we heard the ultra-funky mega-bomb he made from >the pulse<, we knew we made the right decision to ask him. another one of our long time favourites from accross the ocean is convextion aka e.r.p. he did some ground-breaking stuff on matrix, down low and frantic flowers. we asked him to do a remix of crcs amazing take on detroit techno, >vaskitsaherra<, originally on curle 009. the result ended up being nothing else than a timeless piece of art. this record comes as a beautifully marbled coloured vinyl, limited to 500 pieces.

nice price deal !!! the techhouse tune peeboy is a smashing & fresh club tune and as sure a floor filler for the more underground oriented djs as get back down will be for a wider audience: its almost symphonic part, in combination with the wee vocal sample, make great hook and a big big tune!!

alexander robotniks futuristic take of the led zeppelin classic has been unearthed from dusty vaults circa 1983. the original may be an acquired taste with its off kilter vocal delivery, however, another version takes this cover to another level dubbing out the vocals and using snippets to devastating effect. a true diamond in the rough, with its synth melodies ropping in and out of the classic riff and running riot, this is prototype electronic disco at its finest

its back the popular sampler series 4 killer cuts that havent seen the light oif day on vinyl a must for any dj **note volume change

not content with just completing their debut album for full pupp, jarle bråthen from ytre rymden dansskola unleashes his virgin vinyl 12inch on us. on the a side weve got >søder<. though rough and tough on the outside, its just like a ferrero rocher… a hard shell but a creamy soft inside…. mmmm…. i love chocolate… on side b theres >takras< which we previously displayed on last years >greatest tits vol.1< compilation. this time however, youll get it with a proper mixdown from yours truly skål!!!

let me do yore starts off in tribal mode and then adds triangle and shakers to its relaxed percussive groove before shuttling off into the stratosphere where sheets of synthetic slivers dart past at lightning speed, the tracks bottom heavy pulse builds in intensity as claps and soulful voice swirls bring a delirious vibe to the proceedings. following a detroit tinged intro, a moment of truth slides into place with congas and claps helping it find its way. sizzling hi hats and a thumping kick drum deepen the groove while a funky bass line provides hip shaking accompaniment and marks the return of a house legend, who’s still at his best. soul never goes out of style, right?!

demas is a producer from middle germany. he produces his own tracks since 2004 and had digital releases and remixes on klangscheiben-records and leporelo. his style is very groovy and its between minimalhouse and minimaltechno, we think. >bohnenherbert ep< as vinyl is a limited edition of 300 pieces. so be fast to get your copy! this is also the first remix-release at klangscheiben-records. we ordered some artists, who are known from previous releases. but we ordered also very well known faces to our label. these artists are milos (telegraph recordings, leporelo), phööptärt (9volt) and sebastian albrecht (klangscheiben). we are very pleased to welcome these artists on our label.

seth troxlers panic, stop. repeat! ep brings together all facets of the young berlin-via-detroit producers notoriously brilliant/bizarre persona, offering two new tracks (and one house-y remix) of sweaty, ecstatic dance music with a dirty mind and a heart of gold. >panic, stop. repeat!< uses its titular command as a guiding principle, eroding its own immaculate facade through a series of anxious freakouts. the track rolls along like a freight train with aloose screw-designed for precision and speed, but with mechanical parts that constantly jiggle free and whiz off into the stratosphere. as a leathery kick drum and a wickedly simple two-note bassline keep the pace, >panic, stop. repeat!< takes a series of surreal detours involving an ekg machine, a ladys feverish coos, and one particularly old-school sci-fi synth. next up, troxler melds minds with matthew dear on the collaborative >hurt<, a sexy beast of a track featuring bone-dry drum machines, a huge lead tom-tom, and dears terrifyingly deep spoken-word musings. paco osunas remix of >panic, stop. repeat!< rounds out the ep with an exhilarating take on troxlers original, building a subversive house creeper around panics heavy-breathing leading lady.

nacho patrol presents the africa jet band, a six track ep of mind blowing afro-cosmic jams. legowelt s side project nacho patrol surprised many last year with its great debut! and this time its no different... incredible that this is all done by the same guy! nacho patrol is moving from deep slowjam safari anthems, fuzzy psychedelic afro-funk to early n.y loft style atmospheres, join the africa jet band as the traverse the darkest corners of the dark continent. recommended!

two youngsters baked the electronic cake for you: shap, now a berliner, but originally from israel, and vitor munhoz from brazil found the right beats and bits for your sweet-techno-tooth - its all about the seduction now.

the brussels based sirius pandi label reaches a rounded 8th vinyl release with two tracks from spaniard labels boss fernando daxta and a remix by greek man of our time mr.statik (memo, rotary cocktail, immigrant, perplex, karloff…).
>drunvalos drums< is a track that has been being tested by fernando with positive audience reactions during live sets in demanding places like toy (stuttgart) electrosonic festival (burgos) or rioma (mexico city). its frequencies between house, techno and minimal make a celebrative ravy drummy atmosphere perfect for those times where warm ups are over… colombian singer natalia davila recently added the consciousness speech during a studio session in mexico city giving the track that special femenine touch.
the flip side of the record is completed by a perfect more retained still criminal drumatic treatment by chief mr. statik and an extra daxtas track, >quien anda ahi<, a more small room title featured in french trax magazine june’s edition cd sampler.

some sublime athmospheric techno tracks that go somewhere between dubstep, detroit techno and broken beat / garage. roof light did an excellent job on this 4 track ep with tracks that are light but full of emotion and athmosphere. radiance is for sure one of the high lights with its minimal funky bass line and cut up beats and massive strings layered on top. around here is the main track with its 90s two step rhythm and its deep athmospheric sounds and vocals. ltj bukem goes dubstep? not sure who is the producer... but if its a debut its pretty impressive. great release! must have for all the martyn and 2562 fans!

baroque label head honcho keith mcdonnell turns in another outing under his innate guise. this time its a dirty soaring tech monster.
