piemont have worked for the last months on the aspect of leaving the trail of minimal by injecting a stronger and more noticeable note of soul, without becoming one of those adult house guys who sound as if they skipped teenage nihilism in favour for a perfect sound.&#8232,,so please listen to chair or throne with its irresistible vocal snippet-collage, where three different sources of vocals clash with each other in a funky way... creating madness and deepness. this is a a techno house stormer for peak time moments!

who wouldnt want to be kept by a beautiful rich woman? no matter how you look at it, its not the worst way to make a living. in 1982 the german new wave quartet ideal even wrote a song about it. >schoene frau mit geld< is thestory of a young man without any other drive or desire in life than to find such a woman and turn this state of utopia into reality. tough goal! twenty-eight years later, one of germanys finest and merited producers decided to do afresh interpretation of the song. sir losoul of playhouse fame presents two mixes (a dub for the faint of heart) that hone the hook and tag line of the original for maximum dance floor and repeated listening pleasure. and that, ladiesand gentlemen, is sometimes really the only thing you need in the world…

metalheadz veterans & man of the moment s.p.y combined to devastating effect. first up we have >legion< which takes us back to 2000 with total sciences beats and bass line and classic ragga sample. before we re bought right back up to date with >ploc monster< and its growling bass line and skanking beats. release of the year so far!

finlands 501 made his name writing smashers for labels such as chase & status imprint more than alot, but this plate on black acres dancefloor subsidiary will confound all expectation. >short circuit< marries synthetic pop production with dancefloorsensibilities and adds a dash of pure cheek for good measure. an intro of vibrant chords, talkbox vocals and live electric bass sets up the naughtiest of drops - skipping jazzy beats, switching synth edits and snippets of turntablism, all shoe-horned over an enormous warping bassline.

>listenin to the records on my wall<, the first single from skreams second album on tempa - the much anticipated and highly acclaimed >outside the box< - has long been in demand and is now finally being released on vinyl. >listenin to the records on my wall< is the perfect introduction to why skreams current level of success is just the beginning. its a joyful, ragingly energetic celebration of the last quarter decade of british street music, inspired by the hardcore and jungle records used by his older brother hijak who was part of grooverider<s internatty crew. its also a brilliant pop record that makes perfect sense to everyone who grew up surrounded by the breaks and beats of the 1990s ? and to those who didnt.

first on decks.de !!! scalameriyas >samus aran<, a thriving and massively pushing techno-cutlet, makes up eminors first quarter. its getting a solid rework by daegon from denver, who is obviously not afraid of daring to enter the twilightish area of heavy distortion

bad chemistry is already on its 3rd release and none other then spktrm is on the case to break a new kind of branch to the bad chemistry sound. anomalous singularity is deep, broken and darker then the cave it was made in, rattling drumfunk esque patterns immerse out of the dark pits sucking you into brand new territories, f.w.c. is totally different, staying true to his roots spktrm goes in with guns blazing. hyped up kick & snare switches make sure this one will go down with the core posse with ease!

z records deliver a very different sounding record to what you would expect from them. instead of the more soulful/disco sound they ve opted for a more filtered spacey affaire. it has dare i say it a fairly similar sound to >call on me<. its nowhere near as commercial sounding as >call on me< so don t let that put you off though.ltd backstock

if there is a driving motive at the heart of gavin russoms latest project, the crystal ark, it is to create music that communicates and compels physicality and movement. a listen to the projects first single, aptly named >the city never sleeps<, reveals a track as tireless as the title suggests, and russom as a visionary who crafts invocations to move. with his second release under the crystal ark moniker, russom is just as focused on eliciting movement, but deftly avoids repeating himself. unlike its hypnotic predecessor, which slow burned and subtly seduced listeners to physically respond, >the tangible presence of the miraculous< is explicit in its urgings û a composition of nakedly energetic and urgent inducements to dance.

its not often we end up releasing four singles from an album, but with the tuneful love supreme standout track >waiting for the love< we seem to have achieved it. penned with uk based benjamin james smith, (who also delivers the snappy vocal) the track screamed single right from the start. heading up the remix package are two stomping mixes from synth-wizards, chicken lips. dean and andy keep the catchy vocal but overdrive things in the synth department. their vast armoury of sounds and accomplished arrangement makes this mix one to be really proud of.

>in alto mare< was on of the biggest italian hits of the 80s performed by loredana berte - member of the biggest artists of all time - made in italy know this song. in 2004 >in alto mare< gets revisted and retwisted in a new millennium version produced by 2black feat. wendy lewis, who transformed the song in a bilingual song with funky lyrics and original italian chorus. and once again it was one of the biggest hits in summer 2004 and licensed worldwide in almost all countries. now its time again to revamp the song but this time in a pure jamie lewis & purple music style in collaboration with the visualboys & stefano mattara. the song has just been tested, and believe us its still amazing when you hear the whole club singing the song. italian does it better? yesssss!!!

430 west records embarks on an epic journey revisiting classic tracks from its 20 year history with 2010 reworkings. first in the series are remixes of octave ones seminal techno track >meridian< and their absolute floor killer >dema<. both tracks were exclusively reworked for their present >20 years into the future< tour and have already moved crowds all through europe, singapore, and north america. a must have for fans of funky techno

dmom continues where it stopped with the outstanding release by avex axiom and its remix from dustin zahn: more than solid, floor-shaking techno. this time we head towards some italian connection and we are happy to present a very promising new talent from italy, ralph mirto, who delivers a true masterpiece of minimalized, but powerful techno with his >path<. also >deaths head< hits it perfectly and the remixer for >path<, sasha carassi, needs no more introduction meanwhile. releasing on world famous labels like 8 sided dice, harthouse or weave shows where he plays: on top! what a remix, you will love it!

fourth single cut from the latest kuniyuki album >walking in the naked city<. a side,>set me free< was a most clubby tune on the album.kuniyuki edited to bit dirty and more funky. this track is all around for the fan of francois kevorkian to villalobos. b side,original version of >strom< was a classical ambient house track with female vocal. kuniyuki edited to instrumental and added stronger beats.this new version remind early production of blaze or danny tenaglia. both tracks are deep and emotional and lovely dj tool. its real deep house.

a small 10 years after his debut >first born second< (and 4 years after the shelved >love for sale<), soul sensation bilal drops his new album!a provocative genre-bending album that dissects love, politics and relationships, >airtights revenge< demonstrates the philly-bred singers growth as an artist. >its a mix of jazz, hip-hop, soul, blues, and experimental free music< says bilal.

guti on a2 is the south american talent enjoying a recent boom with his post-tribal, neo-minimal grooves. he remixes >perfect stranger< into a roaring percussive journey, full of tumbling congas, dramatic fills and fx. its a heady, psychedelic mix for thelater hours!

not many single releases can be labelled as events, especially not in the ever homogenised techno world, but the first single from model 500 in eleven years, and the first recorded by the new band line up is most definitely an event.
its only fitting that this single is released on r&s records, whose relationship with the man widely acknowledged as the originator of detroit techno goes back 17 years and who released the last model 500 album back in 1999.

highwire and yolk team up for another collective vault release. pure dancefloor mayhem by jah scoop & daddy spanners and d.d.r. & k.n..

supplement facts records continue their rich run of form by handing a label debut to detroit-native lee curtiss. the >and we all fall down< ep has been one of the most hotly anticipated from the israeli label and is set to become the soundtrack to the last echoes of summer. we continue to dance, as the days grow short our nights become longer and lees ep is the perfect accompaniment….>i can hear you arthur<, a tribute to one of lees long-time music heroes, arthur russell, is an emotional escape. with russell being a direct sound-inspiration for the release, we are treated to a longing for a far away love. with waves of sound that build and cascade, accompanied by pillow-talk whisperings, all creating eight minutes of rhythmic, warm grooves. arthur never sounded better. after the body-swaying vibes of the a, side b brings the perspirec-electronic throb and hip-grinding action of labor of love. after yearning for arthur, we are more than appeased with the beautifully sultry and ever so intimate vocals of stephanie selvaggio. with its rhythmic guitar opening belying its true intention, labor of love develops into a sensual dancefloor cut with stephanies vocals floating effortlessly with the acidic beats as she drives us ‚crazy, and we all fall down is a perfect example of an artist at his most vunerable. its brutally honest sound invites the listener in with open arms and wraps itself around them like a warm cashmere blanket. as the brutal realisation that summer is almost over starts to sink in…its worth taking comfort in records like this, that make the transition that much easier.

one year later the label panacustica delivers a slamming second twelve inch rats mother followed by a brilliant prins thomas remix, plus a detroit inspired instrumental by stay gold, argentoÆs alter ego. the record opens with a dreamy version where a plucked string intro and rats voice drive you into a deep, cinematic, adult dance groove. this laid back, psychedelic track flows well beyond your usual dance floor act into eno-esque territories. prins thomass mix is faster, happier and jumpier. its an amazing balearic trip with a live warm feel to it in which a guitar plays along the melody, accentuating the spaced out feel of the track, lifting it into higher states. stay gold gives the listeners a techno version where sparse, mechanical drums and a minimized melody take us to the motor city (citta dei motori) for a night drive in the dark. own it, feel it, play it loud.

the something vinyl series continues this time with seductive house tunes and deep moments for the dancefloor and places beyond. five tracks and four bonus loops makes this the next typical warm vibrating something record, you have probably already expected. as the title suggests, its not a perfect clean and faultless production. there is the dirt and a sound inhabitant, for what stl records are well known for. experimentations in the worlds of hardware based tone generators and at the limits of analog signal processors. the tracks also deliberately dispense much static computer arrangements and were recorded mostly in live sessions to capture the actual feeling for each song. every being is a universe of its own, with all it s known and unknown places. there are mistakes and inner strangers which are made to learn and grow. this record is a recent snapshot from someones life, where the love for music and sound is maybe the most beautiful mystery!

japanese based, dry-witted, multi-instrumentalist, max essa, docks his yacht to the good ship bearfunk once more. this time its the title track from his soon-come lp >white shoes blue dreams<. the original morphs things on from his pundit-pleasing beach and summer grooves onto an 80s tilt. the original mix is full of slick grooves and melodic musicality. maxs own >marbella< mix discos things up with a catchy keyboard riff that makes one think of a certain van mccoy, floor-filling stuff. fellow bearfunk sailor, roberto auser, is up for remix duties. his angular dutch grooves strip things back and make things refreshing and cool like he does with just about everything he touches. stay tuned for the second max essa album on bearfunk in the autumn.

the third and final installment of spectral sounds document 12inch series offers four choice cuts from our era-defining, ryan elliott-curated label comp. kassem mosses remix of lawrences >divided< is a fiendishly tight slow-burner, fitting its ricky-ticky hi-hats and sharp-edged snares together like cogs in a swiss watch. the german producer twists parts around, testing various permutations, and rewards his patient listeners with a dusting of synthesized bliss at the end. heiroglyphic beings rust-flecked >got no place to go< traffics in humid ambience and smoggy gestures, evoking a post-apocalyptic dawn, distant bird calls and all. on the flip, spectral newcomer gadi mizrahis masterful >she only looks at you< hints at krautrock and tech-house while a thoughtful organ hums in the background, and kate simkos buoyant >zhivago< plays ping-pong with a bucket of electronic toms while a crowd-revving synth swell makes itself useful at just the right moment.
