2002 collection of latin infused deephouse, compiled by francois k for his wave music imprint.

one of the uk leading purveyors of funky, underground and cutting-edge house, burnski steps up to bat once again with >me and you< - his latest 12 inch for dessous. after recent outings under steve bugs poker flat imprint, as well as an amazing remix of gamal kabars >4 lally< on the new poker flat digital platform, our man continues his story with 2 up-front originals house cuts dripping with class.
trickling, throbbing and swirling around an excitable voodoo house percussion track, the haunting vocal snippets and midnight synth hooks of >me and you< combine and build to a veritable crescendo. understated, cool and collected, its a mature track that finds its roots firmly in the tech-tribal house patch, yet reaches out in the beyond with freaky, funky vibes throughout!
>the light< kicks off with a suitably burnsksi-esque groove, slowly unfolding into a jacking, bouncy and fresh classic houser. airy, playful and glistening with the morning sun of a new day, the track doesnt let go of the night however and makes for a real late-doors burner. no-nonsense quality house music for those who know.

laurent garnier spielt wie immer in seiner ganz eigenen liga, krasse prime time bombe, die im club, auf dem rave oder dem festival im sommer gleichermaßen rocken wird .... nächster garnier meilenstein, da sind wir uns sicher!

creative energy of berlin, the duo defines its music as future retro avantgarde electroacoutic funky melancholic harmonical pop but for their first proper vinyl release as a duo, souvenir is giving you even more...

its still like that: even though digital is everywhere there is still something very special about having your own tracks on a vinyl release. so this is it again: the very best of the last releases on koletzki_s sublabel stil vor talent digital on a double-sided vinyl edition. starting off with two tracks by bruch & junior that couldnt be more different: while >fiesta de la residencia< sounds like somebody threw some spanish vocals and trumpets into a pool of tech-house beats and basslines at a maniac afterhour on the white island (ergo: great),>sunset< is the deeply euphoric sound for the morning after. the synthesizers so crisp and all around you, the beat and bassline so warm and seductive: this is purely magical music that will make you forget when the sun went down or up the last time while still making you want to shake your legs to the strong bassline and chunky loop. hit! on the flip then comes a re-work of a massive hit on stil vor talent: a 2010 version of nicones >una rosa< complete with the original spanish vocals, but a much more grooving loop that turns into an absolute percussion fest. claps turn into effects and we all raise our hands to those reverbed original vocals. last up australian murat kilic with the wonderfully oldskool house anthem >summer traffic<: great melodic pads, a superbly harmonic bassline and when the breakdown kicks in, an ever-indulging xylophon melody. this whole record has got summer written all over it and helps us all get through this icy winter.

taking a look back on the life of nima gorji, one must quote that this man truly is an international freak in music! so who else should be more predestined for releasing on international freakshow than him?! the two tracks nima gorji presents to us on this record define themselves as a crispy, warm and trippy kind of no-shit-techhouse with a twist! sometimes, the title-track is building up its hypnotizing power carefully, bringing the dancers tension to the maximum level! after summer on the flipside shows a proper, strongly & well structured techhouse-beat combined with subtle, deep and warm synth sounds and its bassline is playing games with the spooky vocal samples and effects nima gorji uses as perfect as it gets throughout the whole tune

third poco label ep. a sweet and charming melody, created by the excellent jazz musician martin leiton, is the seed of this release in which oscarfly & zippticher make a beautiful display to a tremendous track. this release has been conceived and nourishes to marvel the audience with its excellent production and arrangement. this ep comes with two remixes. first one from yostek, an wellknown israeli producer, who gets a good techno version and second one from oscarfly, betting on a careful groovy and cheerful track.

d julzs bass culture records has undoubtedly been one of the major highlights of 2009. in just four releases the french label has set the bar for all others in terms of quality and 2010 is looking to be a groundbreaking year for them. the second release of 10 showcases the label head keeping it detroit, and a bit in the grey area - with the lov is easy release by anonym. anonym. the one who is anonymous. with releases on anonymous release, archipel, bloop, pariter, fof, and sushitech. anonym has also contributed the scoring soundtrack to works on display at the museum of moving images in nyc for pbfb. according to the man himself, i am anonym the one who is anonymous. i am anonymous because in any popular music form prone to be ransacked by the egos of its participants, a state of grace is best achieved and sustained by pursuing a life of anonymity. that preserves its creators from the warping stare of the media and its public in the process. his sound is tempered with grace & style, with a feeling of - detroit is my heart and often my songs sing her praises. i have known her all my life.

mutant clan is the mysterious alter-ego of long serving electronic music veterans timo maas and santos. after a small handful of heavyweight eps on labels like connaisseur and sci + tec, its time for this undoubtedly talented duo to unleash their next batch of weapons on figure spc. the considerably epic we are fuses classic elements of tweaking acid, bright jacking drums and an extended, open-ended arrangement that floats atop a choir of celestial rave angels…! built for cavernous techno meccas, or up-close and personal basement sweat-boxes alike. in comparison the deephouse tones of i feel the sense retain the excellent production values that we ve come to expect from this pair, and take a trip down a dubbed and shuffling melodious path. uplifting, summery and full of clever, climbing effects its a lighter , yet by no means lesser, trip!

nice price deal !!! brooklyns these are powers are at the frontier of noise rock, and yet call back to the earliest days of industrial before its metal infusion. the trios lyrics and jerky beats let go of every musical inhibition ever invented, creating an atmosphere thats slightly sexual and always uncomfortable.

the last few weeks have seen >nerve up< become the focus of widespread critical acclaim, with four star reviews from metro and q and a 9/10 review from nme, who called the record >a unique, brilliant debut<. with the album out this week, its time to judge for yourself.

when casting a weary eye towards the impending chill of winter, its important to remember that the choice of company kept can greatly affect the way in which one wiles away the long gray hours. in this case, we didnt even need to look further than our own backyard. enter deep techno masons, donor/truss. made up of greg schappert of brooklyn and tom russell of wales, their collective efforts have seeped into the consciousness of world class djs, producers and fans of uncompromising techno music through releases on synewave, miniscule, dilek, and dumb unit. with this, their first ep on thema, they have begun expanding their signature sound. the heady claustrophobia we’ve come to know and love has opened up just enough, spurring a graceful and startling evolution. we also would like to say that we re very happy that themas first release for the year 2010 is, in part, from local nyc based talent. mr schappert has been a big supporter of this label for quite sometime and to have him and tom step onboard is just about the best way we can think of to start the new year. the future is here, welcome 2010!

story continues its immaculate run of bottom-heavy deephouse with 4 special treats from this british underground figure that make an earthquake like introduction to the scene with 3 anonymous 12inches only that are already sought after and destined to become collectors items. an acid house veteran that followed the whole uk rave progression to harder techno, he harks back to his early influences with his productions by building his dense, jacking slo-mo house grooves around hip-hop and soul samples. cuts like >the rub< or >dh13< and take their time to slowly sneak-up on you casting a bigger and bigger shadow until you are totally immersed in the smoky, dub-filled atmosphere that has a similar feel to the psychedelic soul of motowns norman whitfild or the rzas mystic hip-hop soundscapes. >whobadu< trades for 4/4 pattern for a looser, handclapping 80s funk groove that should cross-over into the box of every more discerned hip-hop dj, while >olufeme< is a stripped down, fela style afro groover with mighty dubbed-out horn loops. four tracks that will keep all you dancers, booty shakers and headnodders happy for a long time

lil tony is hotter than hot. while starting to dj and produce years ago, tony has been a staple in the scandinavian club scene since the early 90s. an amazing dj (actually one of the favourites around the moodmusic hq) and a talented producer, tony started with the fbi project with roberto rodriguez and kimmo oksanen before dropping some serious damage on raw trax vol. 1 last year on moodmusic. caned by everyone from luciano (he edited his own version of semble) to dj hell, tonys raw grooves cut the crap and moved people when other producers had to take a leak. hardworking, never forgetting his gentleman manners, tony is here to stay and raw trax vol. 2 is a bold new statement, and his best work to date. solid state takes the classic detroit influenced drum machine vs piano theme a step forward, a impeccable jam of 15 minutes with the beat keeping the pace, this has been roadproofed the last 6 months to good effect. the b-side karamba is a dry, tight driven tech-workout, perfect mixtool for the deeper techno as well as housier sets. it just works well. the closing checkpoint charlie is a tale of >lost in helsinki< – dark mean bass wanders around and gives space for the chuggin main line, monotonic body music at its best.

for more than six years now, the dj and producer julian jeweil belongs to the up-n-coming electronic music scene in marseille, cultural centre of the french riviera. with his air conditionné ep on electric rescues skryptom label in 2006, he provided the scene with a true consensus hit, and further collaborations with and remixes for oxia, scan x, danton eeprom or sébastien léger have cemented his reputation as one of the most promising young talents in electronic dance music. his current ep for cocoon stands for uncompromising and demanding techno in its purest form: from the initially more sizzling sound layer in color emerges after two minutes in the first break a hysterically screaming >saw of sinus<, where you almost seem to hear the screams of the people echoing on the dancefloor. >amore< builds up more streamline-like in the style of steve bug, but: dont panic - you will also hear some really demanding breaks in this one. all the hands go up!

the title track (bloody hands) has a unique futuristic sparkle with plenty of funk and loads of interesting effects, characteristic of horrevorts productions. the lead and bassline build up tension throughout the track, subtly climaxing after 5 minutes with some guaranteed hands in the air action!
on the b-side we find >nymph<. this funky deep techey track slots perfectly into those hypnotizing moments of the night. quality production! the b2 is remixed by marc marzenit who captured the subtlety of >bloody hands< perfectly with his monster remix. this monster has a slightly deeper, more progressive flavor than the original yet maintaining its energy. rumor has it that the remix has been signed to secret cinemas first mixed compilation >welcome to my club< (march 2010). one impressive release from two of todays most promising producers!

right behind his successful year 2009, with being remixed by convextion and an outstanding releases on zyntax motorcity, finlands crc aka michael diekmann comes up with a stunning new track for this ep. dreamlike soundscapes and powerful drums are key here. a very emotional experience not to be missed!
on the other side germanys myon delivers an up-building 9-minute-journey for the dancefloor, which stands out due to its big 909-programming and the typical myon-soundscapes!

for the third nowar release, chicago house producers hakim murphy and inbum cho team up for this beautifully organic trip into deep grooves and lullaby melodies on a steady deep house rhythm. sweet strings, gentle melodic rhodes chords and a bassline that will get you hooked instantly. its an armchair staring-at-the-nightsky house essential!

after two highly acclaimed releases, enclave recordings return with an outstanding debut ep from irish dj/producer conor rogan. cogan delivers an impressive well rounded package which stands head and shoulders above most of the generic house music thats been flooding the scene these days. the title track >78<, is an infectious, hypnotic number with its roots firmly grounded in the golden era of funk and soul. expect mayhem at the disco when the groove kicks in towards the end where the slapped bass, chopped guitar, and flute take the track to another level.
next up is channels where rogan shows his deep techno influences by weaving layers of rhodes chords in and out of the mix. a low slung funky bassline and tight rhythm section, make this a top notch people mover guaranteed to electrify dancefloors from dublin to detroit.

their debut perc trax release opens up with noson, a track which perfectly demostrates their sound, with tough but clear 909 drums underpinning a dubbed-out industrial soundscape that continually evolves as the track runs its course. on the flipside comes the 2-part indifference. part 1 featuring intense echoing synth stabs over clipped drums whilst part 2 goes deeper, but still with enough muscle to work in the sets of most djs. watch out for donor / truss remix of forward strategy group, coming up on perc trax in early 2010.

after thomas brinkmanns first new ep since long, its now time for the second curle offering of 2010. 3 of the most relevant producers all on one vinyl. big!

the spatial 10inch ep series reaches its third and most visceral installment yet with 90729 and 90807.

return to form (take that, haters!) hits at the body repeatedly, slamming away with a lack of abandon and a new sense of protocol. major stars are known for being psychedelic rock journeymen (and journey lovin women), but of late, their rocks psych roots seem to be dyed platinum white, with a truckers cap shoved on top of the whole mess. its jukebox ready hard rock with a hallucinogenic edge, sure ? or perhaps its just the impact of their triple guitar git down, causing your head to throb with concussive force? dont worry, long time star children ? these guys still jam, but they ve got short numbers too, and wailing, roadhouse vocals sailing over the punch ups. a terrific variety, but a return to form? pffft! what form? these guys have been in plasma state forever! whatever form it takes, thats what it is. and major stars are presently shining on in white dwarf style ? compacted, but with a violent gleam.

starting the year off with this cracking deep ep by our new guys on dirt crew, the runners ! after their extremely succesfull first 12 inch in the beginning of last year which featured the stunning jay shepheard remix they are ready to deliver the next dose of classic house grooves that range from deep house to the more techy edges of electronic dance music. the four originals on this ep alone stand out and keep dirt crew recordings headed towards the future of true deepnes. but as we are real purveyors of soulfull rolling beats we had to add once more one of our favourite producers in the scene to do a remix, this time its our friend from barcelona soul minority who has gained great respect with his cool deep house records over the past years, especially his latest releases on pack up and dance were amongst our most played tracks last year. so here you have it! a great start and there is more coolnes to follow this year! stay tuned and stay deep!

here we roll after a long pause back to musik krause. toting three nuggets brought to you with care which are somewhere between gentle hardcore with a weakness for the horns, and a warm coolness that finds its place without the chocolate cake. whoever thinks that what i am doing here is again on a peppermint accordion ditty got it twisted. dark, complex and almost avant gard-ish hearty.

the new vinyl from art of fighters is finally out! symphony of the dead is the main track of this ep: violins, bass, an entire orchestral part that blends perfectly with the latest hardcore sounds. its already been played by the top notch djs... on the b side rock on: smashing kickdrums and melodies that made aof famous: a track that rocks the dancefloor!

kink - bitter sweet
kink has built up quite a reputation recently with some amazing work on rush hour alongside neville watson, and two slamming old-school-vibed remixes on liebe*detail. now we present his debut original track for the label, and >bitter sweet< really shows off his tender, heartfelt approach to house. raw, beautiful, melancholic and spine-tingling, this is modern house with a harmonious nod to the pioneers, connecting with us on deeper levels and remaining within us forever.
tom demac - draw me in
wales tom demac has already proved prolific as a producer constantly putting out genre defying, funky and ingenious hybrid house. also his debut for liebe*detail, >draw me in< takes on a strong and bass-heavy approach, with tight drums and freaky vocal-snippets melting together into a mutant jam of seismic proportions. reduced, casual and yet deadly cool, its a welcome additions to toms excellent production catalogue!

the affectionately titled ep, >der kleine elefant<, intends to tell its listener the story about a tiny elephant who is on a huge journey through mountains, deserts, seas and forests where he hunts to fi nd food and water for survival. in each encounter through the magical land, the small animal meets mystical creatures and watches in amazement at the stunning landscapes he finds himself wandering through. each track sounds like a modern day nursery rhyme and our elephant, the hero.
played by tiefschwarz, laurent garnier, tobi neumann, d julz, karotte, nick curly, margaret dygas, brothers vibe, anthony collins...

boys noize new album power has been released in october 2009 and already got massiv support across all genres. >transmission< is the 2nd single out of power, its static unheared synth sound, it s robot voices (you are neutron because lazor transmission) on a breakbeat gives you a feeling of josh winks early hit >higher states of conciousness< going to bed with kraftwerks sound aesthetic and robots on a 2010 afterparty. this release includes a dream package of remixes and also a video to follow shortly after.

its been a while since the last rsb release, but then tracks like this dont come along every day! for their first vinyl appearance on a label other than their own, enigmatic german duo ancient methods do the honourable thing and break out the whip, a track that comes across like a 2-step party in the foundry of thor himself. lets lazily label it anvil techno, because as far as we are aware no has yet invented a genre that adequately desribes music such as this. and as we have come to expect, much the same can be said of the evil sickness that is eat like hawks by bjorn svin (with a little help from karsten pflum, jona olesen & copyflex!). it starts like it means to go on, with a gnarled loop and indecipherable distorted vocals, and is gradually tweaked and augmented to the point of destruction. all manner of ill bass, overdriven filters, zaps, clanky drums & feedback join the party before the whole affair is brought to an abrupt end by the strange foreign lady that we have come to know and love over the course of the track. truly music for small, sweaty, strobe-driven cellars.

our european dream team this time features parisian new comer julian sandre with the opener >satisfaction<. then we head to the dutch city of rotterdam where furrr and hazendonk with >rupert<, confirm that the capital is not the only city with the funk phenomena. our next stop is the south of france to find acumen and the subtle, tribal-tinged deepness of >nice victory<. finally its to germany to hook up with our good friend and diynamic family member markus homm. he rounds out the ep with the mean and moody >gone to soon<. choose your weapon(s)!

in 2010 desolat continues its one year old x series with m.in: >sing and blow at the same time<. m.in is an young artist from frankfurt area developing his individual music taste by being open-minded towards other genres. his interpretation of house / tech-house is spiced up with jazz, soul and afrobeat elements in order to present a varied and sophisticated blend to his audience and led to numerous well received solo releases and remixes for radio slave and italoboyz amongst others. m.ins house and his versatile beat programming caught our attention a long time ago - and the title track here simply seemed to be tailor-made for loco dice and his sets. >sing and blow at the same time< was probably one of the best kept secrets since last summer and now it’s time to reveal it. this new desolat x will be the first in the series to be available as a digital file as well. its coloured vinyl, with artwork by florian pohl and mastering by enrico mercaldi, will remain a collectors item - great sounding and good looking.

treated with love by ellen allien, josh wink, laurent garnier, robag wruhme, mathias kaden, adultnapper, butane, donk boys, falko brocksieper, james teej, nick höppner, the cheapers, mr.statik, sonja moonear, vincent lemieux... music with its seven notes, coming back to its first one at the octave: simple, limitless and ad infinitum. this is the next clever coup from zurich.
>ave leo< is an homage to life. the three guys from pompelmoessap lay it on thick and dally over a tenderly melting melody, skillfully play with shakers, drum cuts and low deep down effects. evoking a conjuring atmosphere that gets under your skin. the groove is right. the sun rises, early in the morning at the club.
on the b-side you will find a collectible, an everlasting trip of melancholic club couch music with bob dylans cultural message from the 70ies. ion ludwig looks at >spiritual devil< as a kind of protest against all those 2d digitally recycled techhouse sounds, which are released every day en masse. here plays timeless music for connoisseurs who want to feel and think while listening. smoke some weed before listening. peace.
