supported by dj sasha, rodriguez jr, chloe, sian, piemont, ivan smagghe!! the duo from cologne-dusseldorf is back with a monster track! >raedereichen< is a track that you cannot estimate before you have heard it loud. talking about minimalism and the lost magic of this genre this is a monster which creates its own genre of new techno-rave

tiger supported by... rob da bank, kiko, markus kavka, mihalis safras, justin berkovi, ivan smagghe, orde meikle... moonbeam are back on traum! the russian brothers had a great year and have been voted as one of the top 100 djs worldwide by uk dj mag, in december 2009. we think they are wonderful, dedicated people who really deserve winning this award. with their new a-side track >tiger< moonbeam show their timeless quality and their deep knowledge of music, writing a seemingly simple but gigantic track. if you want to express in words what this track is like you might say it is a hybrid of joe beltrams >energy flash< fuelled with a melodic note and a lot of post-techno feeling. creating a revival of rave which so many people speak about, but so few actually reflect in theirproductions! the energy of this dark monumental new school acid track is counteracted by the two tracks on the flipside >land of the lost (strict mix)< and >zoo<. the b1-track >land of the lost< sounds like a soundtrack for a film set in a ghost-town in the midwest of the united states. a track that travels like a camera does... through different rooms of a deserted mansion. the b2-track >zoo< is the beat track of the record. it relies on its cool driving sequences and the hypnotic feeling it creates through them. adding small changes here and there that keep the track constantly going.

huge release again on kazoo feat massive club techno bombs from giacomo stallone, label owners mat 303 & josh love plus a remix from ivan devero!

>mustang< is a perfect techno track, it sums up what a whole techno night could be like. it is a fast track but also a deep cool track, when the chords join in one gets close to heaven. it is also a track that changes gear and has a nicefeeling for controlling the pace perfectly. the unbeatable cool alex under beat and 3d sound experiments that sound as if ice cubes were rotating in a tumbler make it a super track.
>charger< is a massive track! the track seems to suck up air to created a vacuum and also sounds a bit as if there was a problem with the ignition of the charger! once it gets going it is indeed a heavy rocking track!>firebird< is a fat sounding house track, which can be plaid by house djs as well as techno djs using a cool walking bassline and a super tight slapping snare and cool house vocals on top of it! starting housy the track develops into a hi energy, appegiator driven track showing alex unders talent for moving genres skilfully from one end to the other! this is a great track!

after their great release on below records, the jacuzzi boys bring us the next bomb on levelnonzero. the original track, called cascabela, comes along with a deep groove and an evil voice which keeps the dancefloor under pressure. but at the latest, when this crazy >cascabela sound< rises during the break, you will see the crowd freaking out. on the flip, chris wood & pascal feos sticked together and created a remix, which is deeper and more into house than the original...

after the successful >srange days ep< leased on deep explorer music a few months ago, dubbyman & above smoke are now delivering the second part ep on the well respected dpress industries label, home of artists like nacho marco, tony blunt and pablo bolivar. dpress is the label where both deep explorer capos always wanted to put some stuff out as they have been supporting the label since the early beginning. on a side, dubbyman produces a soulful moodymannûesque track called >reen sunday<and rick wade (harmonie park, rush hour) works out a dubby and functial house remix. on b side, above smoke comes with >owntown< a warm and deep house track with some jazzy vibes, while ivan murias (thump elektroniks, inout records) is welcome to the label making a great rework of the track using some vocal samplers and showing us some good and deep manners, summer anthem for the deep lovers

the spanish dj, producer and labelowner of suara records, ivan ramos alias coyu has a keen sense and a hot hand on selecting his production-partners. together with edu imbernon he released >el baile alemßn< on liebe*detail which hits the dancefloors everywhere and is maybe the most played track right now. togehter with uner, who is a studied bassist, they bewitched us with two unbelievable fresh groovy funky housetracks. this ones gonna hit summer 2009 for sure!

partial arts finsbury (feat. ewan pearson) bedienen sich der ambienten atmosphäre des originals und kreiren elektronische hippiemusik für die digitale generation. ivan smagghe & tim paris gehen das ganze analoger an. da knarzt fröhlich der bass und die melodien schlingern unberechnbar durch den synapsendschungel

the latest gigolo release is one for the summer! aptly titled hot it comes courtesy of ivano coppola and christian prommer, the former being one of italia s most respected dj s and the latter being, amongst other things, one of the main collaborators for hells critically acclaimed album teufelswerk. taking a sample from willie ninjas classic record hot and building a track around the chords and the vocal leads us to our starting point ivano coppola plastic mix!
ivano coppola has been the resident dj at milan s plastic club since 1992, so it is fair to say that he knows what works on a dance floor, or, to use a popular phrase, what is hot and what is not. it is with this historical knowledge that we find the genesis of our track. i found it necessary to go back in the past, to start producing once again in a 90 style - using samples. the next step was to come back into the future and reach out to christian prommer, highly respected by many including ivan i consider (christian prommer) one of the best producers of the moment! he loved the idea, the remix was huge, and so we decided to co-produce the record. simple!!!
but, for christian this was more then a remix, hence the co-production credit! i liked the idea of translating an early 90 s house-music-sample in to a sample-style-percussive-techno-tune. lots of live played drums and percussion in this one, of course. i only later learned that the sample we used is from one of my house music heroes, maws louie vega. naturally the record found its way into the hands of gigolo in the best way possible, and in the tradition of such a great record label – i played it at the gigolo night in munich and hell came to me dancing and took the tune into his heart.

kyle geiger has enjoyed a rapid rise up the techno ranks thanks to two very well received releases on adam beyer s world famous drumcode label and a handful of high-profile remixes including reworks for marco bailey s mb elektronics label, la techno dons droid recordings and of course perc trax, where his recent remix of material object won the support of joey beltram, paco osuna, xpansul, laurent garnier, nihad tule, ivan smagghe, michel de hey and many more.

dogmatik return with a brand new ep from one of the imprints leadinglights, maya jane coles. coles previous releases sick panda and the low key ep have seen her garnering support from the likes of thomas schumacher, audiofly, ivan smagghe and king roc whilst her band she is danger is hotly tipped as one to watch. on the remix we have afrilounges take on the track colours. the german trio, who have recorded for connaisseur, poker flat and 8bit, turn in a superb slice of tech house with a tight rhythm section and subtle building sonic layers.

after 2 successful eps and massive remixes for metronomy and whomadewho its now time for more discodeine vinyl action. this third ep called tom select is definitly dedicated to the dancefloor... frankly, the track speaks for itself but if you need some influences lets say smith n hack/lfo/frankie bones... but you should know by now that discodeine is only sounding like discodeine right? the remixes are provided by some people that we admire for a long time: la horse (danton eeprom & ivan smagghe) and joakim. la horse provided a trippy remix, with live drums, electronic wizzardy and insanely beautiful pop harmonies while joakim is more on that nasty techno vibe we all love.
