killekills next release comes from snuff crew, a crew you might and should have heard about. snuff crews mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. the masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early chicago and acid house with a fresh and modern sound. rumour has it that they come from >somewhere in germany<, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of chicago alongside italo-disco and old school techno flavours. the use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. their records have been released on labels like skylax, gigolo records, rush hour, playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called snuff trax where they release music of jackmates like kink and neville watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary robert owens. thats enough for now with the name dropping. killekill has got a lot of great exclusive material from the guys but decided to release only two very strong and distinctive tracks for now: domo on the one side is a proper acid monster that will go down on dancefloors worldwide like a hurricane and leave the dancers breathless. eat this on the other side is a rudimentary chicago jack track that might well have been taken off a dance mania record from 1992. this track is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.

panther veil is the debut release on dublin based apartment records. over the 3 tracks london producer ncw explores various avenues of house music in a stripped back, unique fashion. opening with the slowburning, detroit-tinged swing of veil, the flip serves up the bent out of shape jack of my braindead acid, while panthers relentless late night groove rounds things off in a blurry haze

barcelona-born rainer grew up in california, but it was his move to london in 2007 which led him to start collaborating with cesare vs disorder, playing out around town and beginning his production career with the popular >neuralgia< under his belt. the obvious next step for him was to hitch his wagon onto the well-traveled route onto berlin where he now presents his second release on cesares serialism records. >x-berg to san diego<, a production in conjunction with the labels head honcho, a paean to his newly adopted stomping ground and the town of his youth. a tough house beat leads with a funky guitar picking out groove along the way, an oscillating vocal hovering into earshot as old-school snares jack it up.

one of vahagns best friends (tiago from dfa, clearmont 56, golf channel, etc), has a residency at lisbons top club lux called trust. after attending one of these trust nights, this lisbon-based armenian musician arrived in his studio right after the club night and wrote the original material for this record in the course of a few hours. the result was so special, that soon groovement had it signed upon hearing, and contacted tiago to be the remixer for the track dedicated to him. a record with a story like this is bound to be good!

mr bratley drops 2 slo-house workouts on his foto debut. this sound is big and brash with insistent stabs and filter sweeps over the top of some thumping pitch-down house beats. on the flip things get even heavier with get up, a dark, pulsating beast which ups the jack factor whilst maintaining a slow tempo. to round things off label boss ooft! pulls this sound into solid deep house territory with a smoother mix which still contains some serious bottom-end.

supported by: ben klock, marcel dettmann, ryan elliot, derrick may, cassy, rhadoo, zip, sven väth, pedro, raresh, dana ruh, davide squillace, radio slave, vera, dorian paic, spencer parker, tato,..edec is back to deliver a second offering of floor destroyers. this ep combines the forces of jon hester and the remix skills of dvs1, two purveyors of rhythm hailing from the hidden techno gem of minneapolis, usa. shouts in the dark (original mix) tough concrete beats pump the speakers with urgent rhythm to get pulses pounding. a danceable jack vibe permeates a punchy kick and ricochet percussion, with building pressure in undercurrent noise setting up a strong break. shouts slice through the percussion to make this an upbeat techno burner. shouts in the dark (dvs1 found the light mix) by adding some moody synths, noise, and reducing the percussion, dvs1 (transmat, klockworks) lifts this interpretation into beams of light. no more words to speak as bright versions of the original sounds weave their way into a tight groove under smooth, shimmering synth waves, punctuated by sharpened claps. shouts in the dark (dvs1 lost in the dark mix) dvs1s darker interpretation strips back to sparse synths, snapping highs, a deep kick, and pushed into the shadows.

we are happy to have a follow up of m.in on trapez ltd in collaboration with his fellow mate jonas fahz. the duo has released together already under their pseudonym of mucky pups on the trapez ltd 100 anniversary compilation in may. their a-side welcome to my house features again a jack track, produced and written this time by a whole team including: m.in, jonas fahz, peter eilmers and featuring nick maurer on vocals. bringing together old school and new school this was also the idea with m.in s debut a-side track teach me house . welcome to my house instead has more of a live jammed attitude to it... in this respect it is meaner, rougher and tougher as the predecessor! the alienated and twisted voice of nick maurer adds a psychedelic feeling that keeps you making funny faces to yourself . delgardo has been a long time favourite of m.in and jonas, it is an approved dance floor track, and indeed a slow moving... but funky rocker. fuelled by vocal snippets and fx sounds... the beat goes non stop beat non stop ! elephant blues is the favourite track of m.in and a bit of a mad and deadpan track. fitting very well to the actual chart breaking tunes that spread like a virus in the underground scene, this could be the most modern of the three tracks. equipped with a strong drive, whipping its percussion line into oblivion it is a sexy track. the original 3 tracks are Êsupported by alex piccini with a cool post detroit remix of welcome to my house and well as heartik who has speeded up elephant blues turning it into a cool techno- rush of a track.

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

wph head honcho red d begins his new production collaboration series.... the label say here is your summer present from wph! four storming house tracks with that wph >oldskool in a new way< feel, the result of a couple of mad studio sessions at the lemakuhlar studio in landegem…now where the f*ck is that? near deinze of course…duh… the (un)usual suspects involved: lemakuhlar, social disco club, red d, metrobox and theres even some 20 seconds of san soda genius in one of the tracks. if you can find it, write the answer on a homing pigeon and win an eternal supply of wph love.

the brilliantly monikered big strick - familial elder to omar s and responsible for the odd killer release on his younger cousins fxhe imprint - belatedly sates the appetite of record collectors keen to indulge in his recent album detroit heat with a six track selection of the choicest cuts spread across this twelve inch. seemingly drawing influence from a myriad of motor city influences, detroit heat impressively flits between murky deep house, tracky techno and hypnotic jack-tracks. like many of his contemporaries, strick is a sucker for cement mixer production - that distinctly detroitian sound where every beat, groove or bassline sounds like the master tapes have been marinated in grit. that trademark sound, alongside a solid selection of floor-friendly grooves, makes detroit heat an excellent addition to the motor city house canon. the rubbery spinal atmospherics of >under tone< and the tony coates vocally assisted jack of >maybe 1 day< are particular highlights!

the production duo of dual process, aka dj java and dj ben j, have been in the drum & bass scene since before it was being called the drum & bass scene. initially as ravers, then djs, and now as producers, they have been witness to the progression of the various sub genres that are now present in todays spectrum of drum & bass music. after releases individually and collectively on several different labels dual process are ready to launch their own label aimed at the particular sub genre that they have successfully played in raves, clubs and on radio for the last few years. straight up, dance floor, jump up is whats going to be on offer from audio hostage records, and to kick things off we have two heavy slices of face churning, bass ridden, ignorance capable of setting mcs to self destruct and levelling any sound system. both tracks are getting heavy support from a range of djs and radio stations such as, hype, crissy criss, taxman, nicky black market, brockie, ss, jack frost, ash attack, hoodlum, logan d, profile, pappa g, vital elements, spice, origin fm and kool fm.

backchat titled ep is filled with three tracks, all spiked with steady beats, funk, deep melodic chords and an overall glamour house feel. this is not only very well produced electronic music, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you ll ever hear outside of drum n bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects. on vinyl – as we like our little record-shop around the corner.

this summer heidi brings her jackathon concept to a new physical format! the vinyl release features four exclusive tracks from soul clap, deetron, mathias kaden feat. gjaezon and lauhaus & kabale und liebe feat. wkd and is an irresistible mixture full of raw funk, shaking out those grooves until you can’t stop moving. heidi’s jackathon parties started october 2010 as a concept to bring some new life into the dancefloor. she invited some of her favourite artists and friends to play alongside her and to make the crowds bounce in berlin and then london. now the jackathon holds residencies in both cities, as well as paris, manchester and amsterdam, and it has brought the jack to many cities around the world. the jackathon is about energy and feeling and expressing something that lurks deep in the soul.

disco nihilist is a rather special project. firmly rooted in the us-american electronic music traditions, mike taylors records on love what you feel or construction paper roam the grey are between chicagos jack urgency, detroits funky machine soul and the raw magic of vintage drum machines. his style is natural, murky, filthy and raw to the core. the six track ep >running (far away)< for running back is an exercise in grinding beats, squelching acid lines, graceful pianos and heartfelt rhythms without any paralyzing retro romance. it is what it is. get a piece of the real bread

proper trax makes its debut with this four-track compilation showcasing the labels affinity for gritty, analog house, techno, and acid by letting loose the >split personalities ep<. featuring four of tennessees up-and-coming talents – will azada, the funnel, grey people and lee crowe. the a-side is a lush house and jacking tech-house highlight, while the flip focuses on the darker, driving sounds of techno and acid.

kieren dickins aka dels meldet sich mit seiner dritten single bzw ep für big dada zurück, die auch als vorbote des langerwarteten albums zu verstehen ist. für die musikalische untermalung zeigt sich kwes verantwortlich, der bereits durch veröffentlichungen auf young turks und seine arbeit mit the xx für mächtig furore sorgte. dels wütende aber nie hoffnungslosen lyrics verschmelzen auf wundersame weise mit kwes tighter produktion. erinnert streckenweise an eine fusion aus tv on the radio und massive attack. dels zählt sicherlich zu englands derzeit besten mcs!

a house classic back in stock, featuring remixes by junior jack and paul raw.

in a time where we have seen a full through back to the sound of the 90s where almost every new record sounds exactly like it was made back in the day. its so refreshing to have producers like martin tc around. hailing from montevideo uruguay, former member of the now defunct monoblock project martin tc proves again that its all about the cutting edge of modern funkyness. delivering a ultra funky, jazz injected techno bomb of an ep. we are proud to present martin tcs first solo project and most definitely not his last. in situ on side a is an exploration in chicago style jack combined with a keen sense latin groove and definitely is the money ticket, a sure shot bomb, a burner, a floor filler, a wmd, explosive, techno poetry in motion… if i do say so… side b continues with the funkyness of bukle but takes in further into a more challenging up tempo realm that can go either way in a house or techno set. al fin y al cabo and vice versa are an excellent reminder that techno jazz is still here and that the swing will never die.

tony ollivierra begins 2011 by getting down with the machine sound. bordering on acid-funk, this ep really gets it shakin. the title track jericho, reeks of the latter days of disco with a deep bass line that fades in and takes control of the party. a warm synth chord then kicks in along with some strings which build up to a peak time climax. nag champa captures a deep and surreal groove with a sweet aromatic feel that definitely is burning. the dark bass line entangles the listener in a sensual moment while a resonant synth riff tops it off. on the flip, midi aura begins with an uncompromising synth bass line that does not quit. the sequence bubbles onward and a thick chord sweeps through the arrangement opening up into a placid apex of harmony. the aura of this midi is feel good all the way. lastly jack box, another acid track that works the cutoff and resonance into a climax of delightful poly rhythm and melody. jericho will be a very limited vinyl press and will be the final project on the ibex music label. keep your ears open for his next label venture which will be introduced this summer.

vinyl only. auf matrosen, ole! renate schallplatten kicks off with a great ep of wareika with remixes by dop and acid pauli. wareikas original is a remake of an old german sailor song which is perfectly >interpretiert< by the three guys from hamburg. acid paulis mountain girl remix has a more cluby appeal but still keeps the vibe of the original. the crazy boys of dop totally flip all parts of the original into a new wave-eurodance-timetravel journey. early support and heavy plays by justin bieber, lady gaga, jack sparrow and all other big balled mainplayers of the westfalen tekkno scene

two adventurous artists in their own right, platter001 sees the first meeting of minds for appleblim and october, with two wildly different results. >ny fizzzzz< is a peak-time belter in the truest sense of the word, launching to life with a rigid 4/4 drum machine stomp. appleblims dub tendencies pepper octobers knack for the jack with spacious delays and reverbs before a muted piano hook gets filtered into the mix. melting away to let the chords shine through, the drop encapsulates the pinnacle of any late night jam, bright, bold and brassy, and irresistibly catchy. >fountains of paradise< trickles in on a bed of rippling fx, guided by haunting, melodic synth flourishes that only vintage gear can conjure up. the rhythm section ticks away faithfully as the distinctly psychedelic tones and drones shape the definitive 21st century dub track. blissful in its execution, >fountains…< will stand the test of time as a magically unique slice of delectable ambience.

taken from trentemøllers new full-length album, ‚into the great wide yonder, a stunning achievement in modern production and cinematic songwriting, >shades of marble< has been reworked by the man himself, along rising artists kink and kasper bjørke. trentemøllers dramatic, edgy and daring remix of his own string drenched opus is nothing short of breathtaking. leaning towards dancefloors with an appreciation for epic qualities, this expertly constructed re-think will surely be heard well into the festival season. the inimitable man from sofia, kink rises to the challenge of remixing shades of marble and does so heroically. the pleasing result is a tough, chicago meets berlin jack-jam that leads to tripped out and freaky moments in the break, until his trademark drum machines do the rest! finally another bright star of the danish scene, kasper bjørke, has his say with his deeper and more low slung remix that leads the listening into satisfying late night realms. full of funk and melancholy, this is a welcome treat for fans of bjørkes characteristic productions.
