no time to take a breather, no time for a contemplative chill session - the second edition of bpitch control s werkschau (showcase) cd is about to hit the shelves! in line with the overall bpitch showcase concept, the new release is in no way just another run-of-the-mill compilation of best-of tracks, but rather a selection of extraordinary and highly functional club gems that represent bpitch s harmonious concept as perfectly as they demonstrate its musical breadth. the most noticeable characteristics the three extended versions share are their vocal presence and the extremely distinctive way that the artists make use of language and voice. in contrast, the fact that the ep is perfectly arranged for the dance floor comes across as almost a matter of course, and every track exhibits this inherent feeling in equal parts - with it truly coming to life in cormacs >the present<, which opens the albums a-side.

its now more than 20 years that arnaud le texier started his dj career in the west of france and in the paris club scene. since he moved to london five years ago, le texier has been able to put his stamp on the european techno scene, being label head of safari electronique and regular dj at fabric. his debut ep for cocoon recordings is borne by le texiers deep understanding of melancholy melodies, especially >elusanes< with its piano keystrokes coming directly from the basement and the ample detroit strings proves with hymn-like intensity that deep sensuality and unquestioning dancefloor ecstasy can be two sides of the same medal. besides a beat-less version of >elusanes<, the hypnotic >nightleads< with its bass guitar theme does already whet your appetite for the next sunrise in the balearic dunes

the process of receiving and listening to demos is akin to the proverbial needle in a haystack - poorly labeled cd’s or mp3’s are handed out indiscriminately like flyers for strip clubs in times square (circa 1970). “i really think you are going to like this,” or “all nude girls,” and “dj ‘x’ played this at space,” or “24 hours live sex show…!!” but in the end, just like the harsh reality of a stripper in daylight, the demos fall well short of anything mildly interesting and certainly nothing you would bring home to mom… until madato… from the first group of tracks he sent it was clear that a nice guy from naples had sent us the needle we had been looking for. “naples may not be a place one would consider to be particularly inspiring, from its outside appearance, chaos, and plenty of junk on the streets - it takes a deeper gaze, beyond, and into madato’s dream world. madato is always looking at what’s beyond the waste. inside his dream box you might find laura palmer making out with ian curtis, charles bukowski writing a fairy tale, or perhaps john nash singing along to bauhaus songs…” file under: trippy disco inspired dance music, not defined by a genre but more of an attitude. post-punk undertones mixed with psychedelic sensibility

never losing the musics immediate physicalness out of sight, the driving, bass-heavy energy of alex picones tracks set club floors on fire. still in his twenties, hes been a dj for fifteen years. having never aimed at quick fame, his career is exemplary in its endurance and commitment: he hosted parties in his hometown of padua and became resident at seminal italian clubs. after a stopover on ibiza he now resides in berlin. alex picones first record under his real name is also his first release on cadenza and his most successful so far. the three tracks of fahrenheit tie in with the overboiling force of floppy and furby. while the rattling snaredrum adds a humorous touch, the uplifting groove of inside out pushes on the limits of the energy levels of contemporary house music. yet the heart of the track is the relentless bassline, which liquefy ones body and melds the crowd and the whole club in one torrential stream of tension. with lost in burning man, alex picone fuses an oldschool electro groove in his house beats. this unexpected encounter might remind one of kevin saundersons hiphouse sound. but instead of indulging in nostalgia, the breakbeats add a provoking, startling touch to the track. with the rotary bassline and the playful jaws harp of mandarin, the ep ends on a comical note. alex picones second cadenza is a challenge to a certain house sound that became too accommodating and glossy. his musics driving force pushes the crowd beyond the threshold of the established into a space of limitless indulgence

easy and the center of the universe we already know from their recent flogsta danshall 7 inch release and some skweee compilers,remember legend of selda on skweee tooth?this new release on harmonia is as the previous ones infected with arabian soundbites. we recognize the details from our nights in the medina of marrakesh, we slip into our caftan, smoke the water pipe and drink mint tea,and are bodypoppin like an egyptian. no kiddin, this record is so imaginative and so true to its style that you cant go any other way. details of the percussion on halloumi are so good with the details in the orchestration (references to uom kalthoum records come to mind) the pitch and modulation wheels used intensive. with this release easy & center of the universe prooves again that skweee is one of the most evolving styles at the moment. this is exotic and exiting music.

full length double lp from stockholms biggest sound, skudge..tip! although the duo was only formed in summer 2009, they have already moved out of near anonymity to become precious favourites of deep, warehouse-styled house and techno fans. their output to date has moulded together classic ideas and modern aesthetics with a keen sense of minimalism: their looped soundscapes are often bare, but never lacking, and the intersection between house and techno seems to be the point at which the duo most often find themselves. as a result, thats the area most explored on their debut album, phantom, which conjures up exactly the sort of adjectives you should imagine given its title.

the release of the fourth studio album from revered production duo booka shade last year was greeted with widespread praise from fans and press . imbued with not only an uncanny understanding of the dancefloor, but a sense of true musicianship, >more!< transcends contemporary club music, placing itself amongst a lineage of classic records. following the great success of previous single >regenerate<, the fourth and final single to be taken from the album is the scaramanga remix ep. one of the albums standout tracks, scramanga is reinvented by the duo themelves, as well an impressive host of remixers who twist and contort it into myriad shapes, each harnessing different facets of the original and shining a new light on them with their new visions. booka shade take on >scaramanga< themselves with their >manga mix<, re-appropriating the poignant and hypnotic foundations of the original to craft a nuanced and uplifting dancefloor hit. carried forward by the symbiotic interplay of the drums and bass, rhythmic chord progressions surge through the tracks core, unfurling beautifully. the vinyl package also features versions from uk-based producer reset robot and italian wunderkind dusty kid. reset robot pierces the vocal film with filtered synth stabs, giving the track an urgent propulsion which is bouyed by the swelling bass, while dusty kid strips away the layers to reveal a melancholic core, stretching it out over the ebb and flow of its nine minute duration

comes in clear vinyl. with over 30 releases behind and over a decade of running his own label, jacek sienkiewicz persistently followed his very own path, creating music that very soon began to be impossible to define. friendly, but not fraternizing with everyone and his family, modest, but stubborn only in a positive way, jacek is an individual with clear, personal vision and an unorthodox approach to music - light years away from the hectic, utilitarian ethos of club-derived electronic beats. >on the road ep< is the preliminary 12inch for the homonymus album which is another collaboration with cocoon. the cycle is now completed with one of the most experimental albums to appear on sven väths label to date. this record is not easy and is definitely demanding attention - but its also rewarding like no other. new sounds, voices and brilliantly clever arrangement patterns are revealed with each new listen. its not detroit nor santiago, not sheffield nor berlin, its not even the sound of jaceks home town of warsaw - this is the real music of the spheres.

summer has come early. the fog is literally lifting and willing the summer to come early with this excellent ep for metroline. lead track diggler’s job is a breezy house number with pimping keys and a beautiful bass bounce. there’s plenty of movement in the percussion and a light touch that just begs for summer to come. shout romance is a shade tougher with its up-front kicks and acid-tinged bassline. it has slow burn intensity that is nicely counterbalanced by smooth reverb-soaked vintage synths.the jackspot remix of shout romance really brings out the funk in those synths, underpinning that with down-the line percussion and skittering hats that give the track a real drive. rounding things up nicely is in the right mood. the track’s bassline is sticky, sweet treacle over which congas and vocal cuts are expertly sprinkled to create a tasty treat. it never gets sickly though… horns are deployed sparingly, and the track has the same cool as a cucumber minimalism that makes this ep pure pleasure on the eardrums
