wir gratulieren herzlichst zum runden geburtstag! dann mal auf die nächsten 10...! knallfetter birthday bash (teil 1 von 3) mit exklusiven tracks von guillaume & the coutu dumonts, chupacabra, dorian paic & laverne radix

likely ep is tims first release on tiefschwarzs souvenir label. lead track alike sounds like ivan smagghe jamming with richie hawtin in a warehouse rave in london, skirting a line between futuristic tech house and discerning electro. a live bassline holds down the groove as a trickling bleepy melody develops throughout the track. as more and more layers of elaborate sonic trickery are laid down, a driving snare jacks out the groove further before a series of effects laden breakdowns tighten the tension further and further. cowbells take the second phase of the track ever taughter before the groove emerges into a stabbing hook and pulsating synth noises that drive the dancefloor into blissed out oblivion. subtle vocals tease the ears in the background of the final strung out breakdown, never quite dominating the tune before the jacking bass and kick drop back in. ‘unlike shares a similar vibe for mixing live instruments with plug in madness. live sounding bassline and guitar lines open the track and roll out the groove before the main synth hook takes over. as the track rolls in and out of its breakdowns it lurches between reverb heavy, bleepy chaos and futuristic rhythms. think depeche mode writing an experimental instrumental on the moon in 2012 and youre halfway there. like many french artists these days tim lives and works in london and also collaborates with fellow frenchies ivan smagghe and dante eprom. he first caught the attention of vinyl sleuths with his excellent remix of db (8)s future now in 2004 and now runs his own label marketing music as well as pushing the boundaries of spacey electro flavoured tech house with his own solo material.

dickes dreiergespann mit mihai popoviciu, jay bliss & toygun. drei tracks mit ordentlich groove und druck, sowie viel platz für den dj

this three track ep starts with the title track >walking alone<. showcasing mike’s attention to the deepest details, this track begins with warm, fuzzy chord sequences onto which a multi-layered framework of tones and textures are laid. crisp beats mesh with hypnotic bass pulsations, inviting the listener to lose himself in the sound. proper deepness here - for those who seek the essential elements and nothing more, rhythm, melody, bass line, emotion.. expertly produced, >passing tunnels< goes further below the surface as icy chords meet electrified analog stabs, enveloped in cavernous reverbs and shimmering delays. this is a dark, simmering groove for those who know the rare and precious value of a deep, unpretentious tune that can move you from the inside out. take time and listen - there’s no denying the vibrations here. and finally, rounding off the ep is label boss patrice scott’s rework of >walking alone<. properly titled the >atmospheric remix<, p. scott takes the track to another level. while keeping the basic elements of the original, p. scott adds spacey, vibrant melodies to extenuate his version taking you on a journey to a distant planet while on the dance floor.

>t-kitani is one of the most exciting personalities of the japanese techno scene. he respects the groove of chicago house and sound of detroit techno<

d. diggler aka andreas mügge is back ! this time not on planet vision but on pascals new label: level non zero. blessed with a father who is a jazz musician, andreas started to play the drums at the tender age of twelve, and joined his father in his jazz combo. soon he realized that his future is not to play in a band but to make his musical ideas become reality through the necessary midi equipment. his first release for raum...musik boogiemonster hit several dj charts, club charts and was played in heavy rotation on hr 3 xxl. so did the following releases. d.diggler s first album was released in april 2000 on cd and vinyl, its sound range varying from deep to technoid-slamming. since then he can look back on 45 releases and 20 remixes and is a dj + liveact who playes in the first league. on level non zero he shows us with three new traxs his variety: from „hypno-techno“ (drehmoment), over deep tech-house (deepdown), to dub-house (control). we remember the old raum...musik times...

wie eine housige rare groove version von dc

toller techno mit groove, kraft & geschick von materik, echopilot, brian aneurysm & christian quast !

played by raresh, matthias tanzmann, ricardo villalobos,.. with sascha dive and johnny d. the oslo sublabel serves up two exceptional artist on rare becoming black gold. midnight blues is a deep, groovy track produced by sascha. some background vocals are charmingly pushing the track forwards, into a world, where soulful reduction meets classic house grooves. with pako mana johnny d. shows us his source of inspiration, which is based on funk, soul and loads of deepness. its a track thats characterized by its musicality and feel for groove. an odyssey of extasy

nice price deal !!! receiving major support from the likes of tony humphries, cj mackintosh, danny krivit, johnny fiasco, richard earnshaw, mark grant, colette, nicolas matar and much more...its rare these days that a song can rock the dance floor while maintaining quality and integrity but also leave you inspired by the message in the music. life is the music is a prime example of this combination. londons sonny j mason has done just that and delivers a refreshing uplifting vocal with positive meaning. this song has the right combination of energy and soul to make you move while singing along, because tomorrow aint promised, so dance, cause life is the music. miguel migs salted dub deluxe strips it down and moves into slightly more techy territory with a bouncing bassline and dubbed out cut up vocal snippets. miguel migs bump the tech dub delivers a breakbeat groove with a gritty electro ish bassline filtering in and out while layered sweeping synth pads glide on top. the original version is a midtempo soul stomper with classic hip hop and r&b flavor. accessible to radio and club djs alike this song has definite crossover appeal.

british staples charles webster and swag contribute two dancefloor driven remixes of songs from the beautifully rich and downbeat debut album from australian producer peret mako. with his interpretation of >export< charles webster expertly weaves the vocals of tania bowra into a sensual nugget of 4am bliss, tried and tested on the future classic dancefloor by charles himself on his recent visit to australian shores. the flip shows swag in a bumpin and grindin state of mind with a jackin hip house groove, chunky drums and the deft musicality synonymous with their productions. ‘the devils in the detail album has won praise from media & djs alike with accolades coming in from allies such as henrik schwarz, slope, quarion, dirk rumpff … the usual suspects… for its deep musicality, layering and attention to detail. future classic are embracing the pro vinyl ideology of keeping the mp3 files offline until the vinyl sees light of day, so watch this space for dj feedback.

willie graff spends his summers in ibiza where he is deejaying regularly. productions with various partners like jerome sydenham, pippi or tuccillo gained him an excellent reputation. when the sun goes down - a touching piece, slowly building with an atmospheric darkness to turn into an irresistible groove. this track has been played already by loco dice, cassy & luciano to name just a few. on the flipside bang making a big bang.

lustige psychospielchen von den labelchefs. feine bleeps umschwirren das kleinhirn, während das großhirn damit beschäftigt ist den geilen groove zu folgen. absolut eigenständiger techno mit zündenden ideenfeuerwerk

after some very well received releases for the likes of renaissance and kickboxer records, stephan hinz, who has also turned out some hot tracks alongside martin eyerer, presents >bacala<. its a cheekily warped excursion into hinz‘s deep and melancholic dancefloor world, spurred on by a great theme melody, as if you found yourself in the middle of a medieval rave after a long and victorious battle! tight, familiar percussion works the groove, building towards a dramatic break which introduces more layers of synthesised wonder! check this in the main room for maximum effect. audiomatique key player adultnappers remix comes on strong, with a tougher drive and a slightly more freaked out vibe. trademark hissing percussion works over a finely tuned minimal groove, eventually allowing that haunting melody to show its colours. designed for the more freaky floors, yet still focused on melody and progression, its another great example of adultnappers remixing skills

originally released 15 years ago on strictly rhythm when djaimin teamed up with vocalist crystal re clear this is the first part of mixes in 2007 feat swiss producer jamie lewis and the groove assassin on remix duties

the robert owens vocals are so intense and emotional that it gives you goosebumps all over!. maybe even stronger is the track itself. a one of a kind track with a totally unique groove and a bass line not coming from this world. the dx sound that makes the track so powerful sounds like some kind of mutant machine that is going to get you and eat you. and the sublime combination with the robert owens vocals makes this the high light in the history of house music. the original version has been released on larry heards own alleviated label (1987!) and the bootleg instumental was released on r&s.

joshua heath back on dae recordings a nice jackin 3 tracker with a lot of funk, deep grooves, great samples and a touch of jazz includes a jason merle remix for jack me to sleep

massive peaktime electrohouse 3 tracker not to be missed

another fine deep techy house ep!!

many international top-notch djs are already playing and supporting this tune like laurent garnier, gusgus, raudive aka oliver ho, len faki, john starlight, hernan cattaneo, james talk, perc, glimpse, ed davenport, chris fortier, p.toile, savas pascalidis, tony senghore, oliver deutschmann, mario piu or mtv-man markus kavka. after many years and releases on some of the most important labels of the electronic music-scene like for example liebe+detail, areal or trapez and countless remixes for artists like dominik eulberg, move d or solomun, hamburg/belgrade-based artist denis karimani aka remute is coming up with his own, self-titled label, which will be the future homebase just for his most uncompromising, rocking and surprising tracks. the 1st release called zuendli is an unmistakable groove-monster and is already driving people wild since weeks and months as a part of remute s highly acclaimed livesets all over the world with grinding and rotating sequences, unconventional sounds and a killer break / strictly limited, one-sided clear 12 inch

huge third release on thc played by laurent garnier, jeff samuel, dave dk, matzak, patrick bateman, nhar and many more three original and beautiful tracks built for the dancefloor. bvoice & khz feel comfortable in a wide spectrum of music and so their productions vary from deep and minimal glitchy jazz to modern tech-sound and minimal techno and even an orient touch

this brand new and long awaited follow up 12-inch single release by off the record is finally here! its been quite a while since their first release >robot gang ep< (sen-003) came out and took the dancefloors by storm. all the wait has been well worth though, as this talented duo is back on track with their trademark rough & raw drum sounds, killer breaks and bridges. such elements can be found directly from the starting track >tel aviv – japan<, which combines nicely minimalist techno / house sound architexture with simple, yet effective groove, and it grows humble and slowly to reach up its peak moment what goes like: splash! in ya face! there you have it! guaranteed to lighten up any dancefloors, it s dangerously explosive and has amazing flavour on the rocks! having said that, on demand producer and remixer ran shani (crosstown rebels, breastfed, cr2 records) was kind enough to contribute his absolutely fabulous and fantastic remix work of >in your mind< track. he pushed the track to the next level and came up with a truly club oriented pulsating dance track with extra crispy and tasty beats. rotating 360 degrees panorama effect on female vocals coming in as the track rolls further right after the break is surely enough to explode some minds on the dancefloors. watch this man out! perfect end to an extended play here is the only track offering a mini lovestory: >shes lost her mind> is a true and cold hearted, crucial story about a tech savvy clubgirl falling in love in a binary world full of zeros and ones, finding computers and turin machines sexually more attractive companions to better have fun with rather than getting accustomed to that old fashioned missionary position carried out by her human boyfriend. floating, dubby and rather melancholic, but definitely not a sad song! but one thing is for sure regarding that twisted story after all: someone has truly lost her mind somewhere along the way …

entertainment is a duo. im a cliché is proud to release their very first e.p on september 29th. juan de guillebon is the bass player. he studied a lot jaco pastorius, but decided not to spend the rest of his life playing in jazz rock combos. you can easily guess his attraction to no wave bands (suicide or james chance), krautrock (his faves are cluster), or ebm and early electro (daf). alongside, hes part of the ectoplasmic band, performing as backing band for tigersushis boss joakim. antoine montgaudon plays the guitar, and we bet he would have fit perfectly in any brian enos late 70s recording. he builds endless psychedelic atmospheres with feedbacks, loops and fxs. all this only with his guitar. hes also part of my sister klaus, a project released on tigersushi (again).

the 15th release is another original from label boss james harcourt - and a summery house/tech track which features a strong bass line & piano based groove and the right ingredients to be a right little party starter! australian favourite and master of fat, funky genre-blending beats anthony mansicalco - better known as hook n sling - was been drafted in for the remix.

detroits main man kenny dixon jr. complements the vocal with a superb loose jazzy groove on desire. ben westbeech tightens up the drums with a cool house mix on love. available on 180 gram vinyl with specially designed sleeve artwork.

charts and big support from: richie hawtin (excellent release), dave clarke (full support), nic fanciulli (big big big), dubfire (this is wicked! rich hot teen tune has been my biggest all weekend), chris liebing, slam (excellent wicked tunes, on top of my charts) xpansul, deetron ( vapors rocks, brings the old days back to mind).... tip !!! even in berlins inexhaustable club scene few musicians developed an operational experience like savas pascalidis: he has been a dj for near twenty years and a producers for about ten years. having released two albums and a series of eps on a couple of a-list-labels, vapor is pascalidis first release on figure. being a specialist in demanding and sepulchral techno sounds, pascalidis tracks fit in seamlessly with the previous records on figure. vapor is a thirteen-minute-long techno epic. an ever-changing acid line coils through the track, keeping the listeners in a firm grip. rich hot teen combines an smart, slim groove with the kind of hook line which ignites excitement and surprise on the faces of the dancers. with its distorted feeling, the online-exclusive low has a rough, provocative attitude

shake into the groove with... 00sex everywhere in the world... here it is the groove slightly transform into these great deep vinyl tunes! respected by steve bug, gene ferris ...

played by ricardo villalobos, raresh, karotte, nick curly, matthias tanzmann, johnny d, reboot, chris tietjenafter the cécille001 and cécille004 markus fix comes with another strong deep house groove track together with his friend robert dietz

the label boss returns to his own yore imprint with another stunning solo release. these are different times indeed for andy vaz if the eps three mighty jams are indicative of where his musics heading. the a-sides over here (a glance over prime time mix) roars from the very first moment vaz unleashes its steaming, latin-tinged groove. a far cry from the techno the yore label head once issued, the tune finds vaz exploring straight up dancefloor territory with a dizzying house pulse that straight up rocks. melodies and voices rise to the surface of the dionysian broil and then just as quickly recede, leaving room for a driving bass line to gain the spotlight. the flips hurry hurry (before its too late mix) is classic deep house just as one expects on yore. a jazz-inflected strut with tilman ehrhorns sax playing, wailing over waves of rollicking piano playing and spirited vocal chants. the energy level doesnt flag for the discs final track, bygone times (nostalgia mix), which stokes a fiery house swing with its locomotive pulse, futuristic synth patterning, and high-velocity bass lines. vazs music has never sounded more impassioned and energized than it does in these three tracks and consequently, just as one might predict, different times feels like its over far too soon

>personalities< ist eine reise durch warme sounds & melodien die über einen klassischen minimal-groove schweben. erwachsene musik mit deepen effekten und ausdrucksstarken synthies die vor allem zur späten stunde toll zur geltung kommt

jorge has been a central figure on the latin-american musical stage since the 80s-first as the co-founder of chiles beloved political rockers los prisioneros, then as a restlessly inventive solo musician and as one half of gonzálo martínez, the experimental electronic duo with dandy jack (martin schopf). now based in mexico city and working alongside loreto otero, jorge presents los updates, a new project combining electro-pop with an unusual approach to minimalist house and techno. designed both as a studio affair and a live performance, los updates expands its collaborative scope by reaching out to a crew of well-known chilean and european musicians who were central to the development of chilean techno in the mid 90s: ricardo villalobos, dandy jack, luciano and tobias freund, all of whom deliver defiantly original remixes across a series of 12-inch singles. tobias. fills the a-side with his remix of >pictures of you< simply one of the most dazzling things youll hear this year. tobias. recent string of work-singles for wagon repair and ostgut ton, as well as remixes for two armadillos and jim rivers-has shown him to be a master of the hypnotic groove, and here he entrances like never before, laying down a stark 808 drum pattern which he threads through dubby keys, analog explosions and liquid bass figures. on the b-side cadenzas luciano is getting late and brings his inimitable touch to the remix of >etting late<. luciano reworks the song into a lean, bleepy groove that marries the cool restraint of vintage dbx to lucianos own effusive style, buoyant and percussive and completely enveloping..

a fresh addition to the moodmusic roster but a longtime veteran in the house-scene, alexander maier aka dj all*star from stuttgart is well known from his earlier releases on buzzin fly, exun and criminal records. he began his career playing underground techno in south of germany but over the years became more and more influenced by detroit and chicago house. you can hear these influences on sahara in both the rain and river version. deep and reduced grooves with enough soul and atmosphere, yet fully functional for the floor, sahara rain kicks in with a heavy bass sequence building a perfect platform to be followed by the synththeme which hit s the peak hour perfectly. i see some hands going up here already… sahara river starts more housey, building a classy, low-slung huge groove with perculating synths and almost tribal feel to the drums. the modulating synths lifts the track to new heights with a break of superbly layered twisted pads before the drums kick back in in full effect. as this would not be enough we asked our thrusted chicago connection and alexs buddy, mazi aka audio soul project to remix sahara rain. if you consider people who s been in the biz for some time mazi is one of the warriors of the sound, never choosing the easy way but thrustfully following his true way of house music. and house it is, classic but cleverly updated to 2008 with a twist of so-cal thrown in for good measure. bouncey and jacking is the words which comes into mind when hearing this, excellent work and a another bomb for the hot months to come

once again, tuningspork records ventures away from its trademark funky house in exchange for something a little more unexpected. last summer, the label issued >free your mind< (tsextra), a baleraric groove crafted by jay haze and ricardo villalobos. now comes another non-sequitur: >comptine d un autre été: l après-midi< (tsultra), mr. tiersens piano composition reconstructed for the dancefloor by jay. french composer yann tiersen has a minimalist approach that many electronic producers could learn from. his piece (the title of which roughly means >nursery rhyme of another summer: the afternoon<) provides the basis for this melancholy track. djs addicted to hyperbolic effects plugins might hesitate to play this - but those who appreciate subtlety will be rewarded here. tiersens original composition is tastefully manipulated into a track that makes sense in a club context, yet sets itself apart from the usual techno/house fare, providing a rare introspective moment on the dancefloor. and it might be worth mentioning: if you play this track and the floor doesnt fill up with ladies, then it probably means youre djing at a gay club. (not that theres anything wrong with that!)

fantastic deep and soulful deep house !!

production partners dj rico & mr fuzz aka grantorino have been in the scene for a while influenced principally by the 70s soul, jazz, gospel, funk and with a passion for world music, and they now drop this massive album which was due a year ago on raisani records. the first single shake the black star, was featured on the dubai sessions compilation and lately on the dubai heat sampler!!

tru thoughts presents back gold will be vinyl only releases and will feature exclusive music which will be either unavailable for several months or never to be released elsewhere, ever. there are less than a thousand available worldwide. featured on this 12inch are four nuggets aimed at the djs. hints filling loosening bassline will test any soundsystem and totally reinvents the hot 8. bassnectar toughens up me&you with a mash up vibe. tm juke and jack baker have taken on and bettered fedde le grands put your hands up for detroit and broken it up funk style. the final track is the work of wonderkid trus me who turns belleruches reflection into a 4/4 groove masterfully.

played by tim sweeney, only fools & horses, guillaume coutu dumont, sebo k, shit robot, mock & toof, fabrizio mammarella, toby tobias, willie graff dflex is the project from house music aficionado & x-press 2 member diesel & restless soul producer felix hopkins. both have been involved in electronic music long enough to understand the finer points of whats needed to create something of substance and with dflex they have formed a platform to explore their love of house music, techno & jazz. here we have their debut single, waltz, remixed by two very talented producers, switzerlands kawabata (a.k.a. lexx) & us producer dave aju. both offer outstanding offerings for those who like it deep..

its house but not as we know it! young david, aka dave young, chose his artist name as a reminder of what it said on his office door before he took some time out in the summer of 2006. swapping the office for what an estate agent might describe as a cosy basement studio in stockholm, he now sits around making beats all day the fuji ep is musical adventure. bridging the gap between soulful and minimal and blending crunchy mid-tempo party beats with intoxicating two-tone, jazz and dub flavours. equally at home on the dance floor, ipod or lounge stereo, the tracks have a sense of space and depth and, above all, a real musicality which comes not (only) from the pushing of a few buttons, but from a lifelong quest

dj support: malente, tom wax (you fm), dj ceeryl (radio fg), groove rebels, dj paulette (pacha radio/ radio fg), mason,.. this drop box e.p. is the return of a proper legend and innovator: tonka! he started to release house, breakbeat and techno tracks already in 1991 and ruled the world of house music with groundbreaking remixes and own releases for a whole generation. after a 4 years break he is back with not less than three floorfillas which already put the cat among the pigeons! the drop box e.p. is a peel off style mix from chicago house beats to hypnotic techno up to drum & bass skills with a 100 % clubbanger effect! all three tracks are throughgoing club smashers with a clear message: this is the future of tech-sounds!
