who is maetrik and just how does he get his beats and bleeps to sound so good? we cant be the only ones asking this question as recently eric comes on a string of big hits for audiomatique and mothership. erics been banging out stormers of late, but with dumb-unit its different. here we do our typical du magic and present something a little bit slankier, a wee bit dirtier, and a tad more tripped out. something that dancers and freaks can equally get their head around, something that will blast through the sound systems straight through the summer! and so without further ado we suggest you dig in ... and get ready ...

on the b-side its a one-way ride to chicago with ricardo miranda blasting on the car stereo. this relative newcomer, who has recorded for hour house is your rush and vega records, really outdoes himself on >urbanism<. as we cruise into town, heading straight to lakeshore drive, this track kicks off so soulful, yet so raw! it reminds us of the best days of prescription underground, on which this easily could have been released. addictive.

the first teaser from the long awaited second album of phil mison (aka cantoma) comes in a true idjut boy haze. reminiscent of early u star at its best, their remix of >north shore< is one of the most locked-in grooves we have heard for some time. the vocal version sucks you into an almost trance like fashion and is purely made for the late night hours on a sweaty dancefloor. hearing this on a big system is truly a spiritual experience. the instrumental ties down an amazing second 12 inch for leng and gives us further excitement on the release of the second cantoma album. simply terrific.

despite dfas disco pedigree, the juan macleans dj-kicks mix is a love letter to straight-up house music. its a driving, sweaty session thick with pumping keys, chunky drum-machine beats and chopped vocals, and it cuts confidently through the sweetest hour of dancefloor communion with filters billowing like sails. recorded specifically for the mix, the juan macleans new single >feel so good< is a perfect distillation of that vibe.

the amazing situation return with two sides of love – gangster love and sutra love. the gangster side is an amazing clash of a skit from american gangster (heavily inspired by the eddy grant produced >funky like a train< by the equals) with donna summer. the resulting blend is as inspiring and surprising as it is unlikely. but with their usual disregard for boundaries and rules, situation seamlessly melt the two original cuts together into a perfect slice of discoid boogie that absolutely sets fire to the dancefloor. on the flip side, love of a deeper and groovier type oozes from sutra love. its a case of yet more top class, bass led disco action thats firmly focussed on maximum dancefloor reaction. this is without a doubt one of the best situations ever! and with heavy releases on disco deviance and their own imprint already under the belt that really is saying something.

remember your first time at a rave? of course you don’t. and if you do, you either did it wrong or you’re a liar. with the latest installment of the 7777 onslaught, jared wilson aims to remind you of a time you dont remember. this ep is a souvenir back in time. beyond the zero and beyond the one and back into the analog bringing back memories you never had and experiences you never felt. paris massacre is reminiscent of a time when function mattered more than form and fashion, when sound systems and no lighting took precedence over state of the art fashion shows and laptop djs. its not nostalgic by any stretch of the word, though. how can one be nostalgic for a time they cant recall? the flip of the record is the wonderful >scmocid<, a wonderful reexamination of what it means to work a 303 to near death.

producer toby leeming is making quite a name for himself. after a year of sowing the seeds on the underground, this london-based artist makes his first high profile release on arts newly formed dance division series. >messier 66< contains all the classic elements of pure dancefloor techno. driving ur style beats merge with basic channel chord delays - all underpinned by a menacing acid line. techno doesnt get any more sci-fi than the alien soundscapes of >anadine< - its classic detroit-inspired string stabs and abstract vocal washes are highlights of a frantic, scattering track that will keep the feet busy on the dancefloor. >paucity< ends this no-filler ep with its majestic, sweeping pads and uplifting melodies. the beats are still tough and relentless - making a perfect finale to the second release on arts dance division series.

rick wade, the self-entitled new duke of cologne returns to cologne based yore imprint, the real dukes in town. the detroit based deep house soldier rick wade has been around for a long time and has been releasing deep house tracks long enough to warrant the ‘old master’ title (all the way back in 1993, he built his own studio and established his harmonie park label), and now he returns of the mighty duke of cologne with a three-track yore follow-up to his fabulous 2008 full-length the good, the bad and the deep.it takes mere seconds for the title cuts deep bass-and-drum pulse to work its magic. driven by a slinky backbeat, the tune gets its skanky kick from a wah-wah guitar figure in the background and the silky allure of classic disco-era strings.

up next here at dirt crew recordings is one of our favourite producers and biggest talents in the house scene these days. jay shepheard gained much respect with his fantastic releases and remixes for compost, diynamic, buzzin fly and most recently on his own retrofit label that just saw its launch a few months ago and has been taking off since then. dry percussive house music with a cool disco feel to it and great 80s string hooks. nothing less is offered on this new ep for our label, 4 tracks that go down the same smooth path into house heaven… your dancefloors will love it !

italys marco donnarumma indicated some of the potential of his kuoyah project with last aprils digital release for frijsfo, earning enthusiastic tips from the likes of boomkat. nonetheless, theres no doubt that his debut on wax ups the game ? even in the face of a mix from sully ? by applying a focus capable of working magic in 2010s open-ended dubstep dance. its an overused comparison that probably deserves to be buried, but angel dub does reek of horsepower productions, or more precisely the ducking 2-step and basic channel steals of benny ills classic tempa ep with hatcha.

zt and his kiwi buddy get a bit rowdy this time, with a heavy inspration from the early virus sound of 1998-99. >shallow grave< sneaks in a kicks you in the gut and pounds you like giant haystacks! as the vocal sample states: >i roam when its dark, and take you to some secret place and bury you< indeed! mr.t decided to keep it in the family, irish-style, for the 1st two 12 inches. so after old cohort calibre provided the 1st flip side, next up is zeros original colaborative partner beta 2. its now 10 years since the pair debuted on 4 heros reinforced, and a long awaited return to the game from beta 2 looms large! cabin phever is classic blue note buisness, for those that know! beta tickles the ivories with aplom, plucks the double bass and chops a break in a style remeniscent of that ginger ninja, rupert parkes (aka photek).. two words: film-noir.
heavy support from the likes of marcus intalex, jubei, ulterior motive, bailey, loxy, ed rush etc.

nice price deal !!! >a night on the wonk< is on an experimental tip with highly addictive horn and chime hooks. the gemmy remix takes the chime section, gives it some of the well known purple treatment and turns it into a highly distinctive but slightly sickly intro. i say sickly but thats perhaps because i have listened to it a lot of times in a fairly short period of time. however we are then treated to a bleepy roller with moderate variation to keep things interesting. this makes it perfect for an early set or casual listening. >detached reality< crackles its way through some haunting vocals and evil guitar riffs creating a tense but soothing atmosphere ? detaching you from reality, sinking you into your seat while your mind starts to play tricks with itself. what are we really here for?

nme says: >its what >kid a< would sound like if it was released by kompakt and had softened its edges !! vinyl album contains the cd as a gift

with 2009s magnificiently deep >cone ep< raudive aka oliver ho became an integral part of the ever brilliant macro family. the man is in there for a reason. now he drops one of macros most dancefloor-centered, yet distinctively future forward outings so far. >paper< - the chord, the bass, the strings! all deepness ingredients are there and it would be just classic if it wasnt raudive in control, whose chord is rather acoustic than synthetic, whose strings are rather xenakis than detroit - and whose bassline is just pumping genius blasting any reference system. but its a double pack of excessive excellence. >brittle< is papers evil sister and a giant step in groove design, throwing the thrills of the unknown right at your dancefloor. its repetitious, maniacal vexation patterns put any record to shame that has ever been called hypnotic. 2010 is right here. the ep is rounded off with the shimmering >sienna< - a no-beat melodic variaton set against the warmth of grainy crackle. one of the most thrilling releases by one of the most thrilling labels

>afro rock vol. 1< is one of the most important compilations of heavy original 70s afro funk and soul to be released in recent years. originally surfacing on duncan brookers indie kona label in early 2001, the album single-handedly kick-started the thirst among jazz, funk and soul fans and diggers to rediscover lost music from africa made during the 60s and 70s from a time when many countries were gaining independence and celebrating a pan-african identity within their music. the album was one of the first to reach a far different audience to the traditional ?world music? market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. a year later, the >nigeria 70< compilation surfaced on strut and labels like soundway and analog africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the motherland.

volume 6 from paul winleys collection of timeless disco anthems.

truly beautiful deep house records are things to be treasured, akin to proper songs that will last the test of time, not made to meet a fleeting fad. this is one of those records and a real pinnacle & departure for blm & pawas. although the term deep is an oft overused one, >waiting game< personifies the genres true key traits with a subtly moving groove that gradually builds, using layers of subtle percussion and a rich, warm synth motif to make a rich tapestry of sounds before finally introducing the beautiful female vocal that gives the track its name. patrice scott liked the track so much that he agreed to remix it - his first ever outside of his own, excellent, sistrum label. using plenty of the original track parts but taking it a different direction, patrice really has come up with something special. the track moves along with snippets of the main vocal and clever use of the main synth, the groove being underpinned by patrice s classic sense of production before moving into a more classic >detroit< ending - a mindset with a bigger, more dramatic sensibility

great stuff, kling klong, mutekki, blufin, my best friend…oliver klein had them all. now he teams up with kolombo (turbo, blufin, giant wheel) to bring a real smasher down to the floors. techhouse at its best ... completed by 3 nice remixes. stand up and dance!

both luke vibert and radioactive man are seminal electronic producers who always deliver with a flourish. they have continued to impress recently with viberts >we hear you< album for planet mu and radioactive mans >growl< album on his own control tower that was also picked up for fabrics in-house label. luke vibert puts a kerrier district spin onto his version of tudor disco, which will move your mind and your feet with its driving acid groove, while radioactive mans luscious remix of urgent takes its influence from carl craigs (69) track desire.

already receiving support from the likes of richie hawtin, adam beyer, mark broom, and dustin zahn, this follow up to psyks debut ep (on minus no less) shows the heavier, peaktime side of his productions.>cubes< is a massive and hypnotic show stopper which will easily find its place in the biggest festivals and clubs this summer. >clockwise<, like decimals >freekout< ep, is a massive 909 workout similar to the plastikman material of the past. this is without a doubt, one of the biggest releases for the label so far! future classic!

andromeda – just like the galaxy with the same name - is brilliant! expansive and excursive, the suspenseful groove on its own is >big room< worthy, but its the sci-fi tune that haunts across the synths that takes this tune from x files to x factor. while on the flip you will discover the #1 remix duo - 2000 and one and dj madskillz - with a punchy, in-your-face stellar remix.
