its been a while since the last release by mark august on connaisseur, but now hes back with an extraordinary one. two tracks, both like a fairytale of a country far, far away. a fable, with mystic and mysterious animals and creatures, might best describe what mark had in mind while working on the tracks. the wasps from tunisia and the silver piggy – the main track on this release is an uncommon piece of music. it starts moody and with a stoic pumping beat, yet also a somehow laidback feeling. it then unexpectedly and surprisingly builds up to a monster of a track, working manically towards its climax. then however, over the length of the track, it completely transforms again, coming back to its beginning, as though nothing had ever happened. scorpions groove is a deep and dubby affaire.

t.b.s. (initials of the bloody sisters) is a band based in paris and, unlike the appearances, exclusively composed by men. they&#146,re about to release their first ep >time machine ep< on the label sismic music. already supported by new scene names such as mr flash, naive new beaters, this first ep with a definite electro-funk groove will feature the track time machine already available on the compilation ever better released by emi and an exclusive remix by alyoa aka guillaume manbell a half of teenage bad girl band.

rmxs by clouded vision & noob ! i met brodi early last year, he had a track called >bad runner< that i had been playing incessantly. it leaked onto blog sites months before its release on mental groove in october 2007. it found its way into erols box among many others very early on and the hot fuss began. as a dj, despite hailing from france (reims, lille), unexpectedly brodis taste is broad. if your expecting banging gnarly electro bombs… unlucky. he can play anything from noisy techno, bass heavy house through to more melodic minimal. plus, if you think you spend more time searching the net for new tunes than anyone else, think again. this guy is committed and now his second, and even better ep is here and he has saved it just for turbo

formed in 1997 by philipp albrecht (guitar), rene albrecht (drums) and christoph lenz (bass) - singer christian erne entered the band in 2000. since he left plenty enuff in 2007 philipp albrecht and jessica sigfalk took the micro power. plenty enuff have been experimenting with sounds from the sixties for almost ten years. starting off with a traditional type of ska they soon switched to a dark blend of roots reggae. their large amount of shows already brought them to the jazz festival of montreux this year.

omanko is the only word that is unmentionable in japanese media and public speech. its also the next single from catz n dogz - a strange hybird of cinematic swells, quirky natural drums and popping guitar plucks. its unorthodox groove builds relentlessly, anchored by a shouting chorus and warm bass bubbles that swell from the depths like some massive ancient sea creature. they take their time building to the climax, finishing the track with late-entering keyboard theme that quickly swirls into a frenzy. perfect for tipping that peaktime crowd over the edge! the italoboyz remix completely remolds the groove to fit their distinctive vision, seamlessly integrating shards from the original into their tension-fuelled agenda. breakdowns of varying sizes dominate the sonic landscape, as their annihilating kick plays hide and seek with the strings throughout the track. finally, all the elements are reunited by the echo-drenched vocal line and percussive baritone sax stabs – a satisfying finale to this latenight masterpiece.

ltd warehouse find... an eternal raw groove, dirty keys, deep & dub chords… reduced & monotone, this is blueprint techno for club abuse part 2!

back with another of their much loved eps - the knee deep guys dig deep to satisfy your dancefloors yet again courtesy of the french love ep. kicking off with >all night< a charged up bullet with hooky vocal loop and infectious synthy lick, >vibin< is exactly that - a stabby low end bassline powers on alongside the sweet warming melody whilst the whole groove builds and builds leading to the chant-fuelled breakdown. rounding things off, >sweet love< has that epic crowd pleasing vibe you will have come to expect from the kd guys… again its simplicity at its best using a hooky riff throughout, and allowing the groove to shine. a power-packed ep in 3 different flavours

an irresistible electro/prog piano hous groove!!

played by loco dice, tom clark... a booty call. the title says it all, a call for all booties - big or small - to migrate to the dance floor. an orgy of percussion and low end rumble lift you from your head bobbing slump up against the wall and firmly plants you right in the sweet spot of the dance floor, where the rising energy hits a climax. there is a pause and then the most noticeable sound of the track hits: the booty call. one artist credited with invigorating the kindisch label, is the young frankfurt based producer daniel mehlhart, whose first (and hopefully not last) release, origami was a highlight of last summer. in his booty call remix, one can immediately hear his style thrust into the main groove of the track, injecting it with a heavier feel and bringing forth a whole slew of new effects and sounds including a hypnotizing african vocal. this marks a small milestone as the 20th release of the label.

massive techhouse 2 tracker!!

the wurst edits gang has inducted yet another ny disco acolyte to the fold, the inimitable irishman-in-new york, eamon harkin. known for wild dj sets not to mention his innovative bookings at such parties as sunday best and fun, harkins no stranger to dance music. no wonder the mans shared bills with such legends as afrika bambaataa, juan atkins, grandmaster flash, the egyptian lover, and kevin saunderson. on his debut single, the man heads straight into peak-time territory with the sinister sounds of >john boy<, where synth toms jump out of the shadows only to punctuate an incredibly propulsive groove. >innit< takes a decidedly different turn down edits lane, rejuvenating an early 90s house gem in magnificently wurst fashion.

polyfon label boss bodo opened the peckham’s coffee house in erfurt and dedicates catalog number 7 to the coffee house. 5 tracks from the friends of the house: tomtomgroove, steffen baldo, immer.chic, rubrique & siggatunez and t.patton let the coffee house feeling flow into the tracks, sometimes jazzy, sometimes disco but always having the deep house focus in mind. tasty deep house!

after the big success of our first release on outils du connaisseur, we present the second strike, this time by afrilounge-member liapin. basila is his the first solo release, and all the more an impressive one: two deep and slamming house-tunes, basic but concurrently fond of nitty-gritty. according our outils philosophy these two tracks are genuine strippeddown house cuts for maximum floor impact. basila – a massive, slapping bass, rolling drums and shreds of guitar sounds are the dominating trademarks of this track. once the compelling groove catches you, the hypnotizing vocal in the break will inevitably bewitch you. this is one for both body and soul. black mamba features a bassline so corporal, you almost inclined to give it a social security number.

deep and fresh innovative minimal house/ techno 3 tracker. from the first beat on the bass drives through the stamping groove, tears away vocal snatches and sound fragments like acoustical driftwood and heads straight for the peak. the flip side comes along a bit calmer without being less powerful and surprises with a deep vocal theme. the package is rounded by laufmasche s forensic remix which again reflects his unique style.

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

das ist exakt das was wir unter groove verstehen. dagegen ist michael jackson ein hüftsteifes botox opfer. nach acht takten bist du der platte schutzlos ausgeliefert und daran ändern auch die remixe von den loulou players sowie delon & dalcan nichts

two key players of the scene join forces on figures sixteenth release. no one else than adam beyer and luke slater contribute tracks to this very special ep. mod by luke slaters planetary assault systems project takes off with a fast, breathless groove. its force drags the dancers along, and the mesmerizing bleeps put everybody in a deep trance. within seconds, the solid ground of the dancefloor is nothing but a remote memory. mod has a very special aura, it is hard to grasp its exceptional energy. it appears to be pretty elementary, and yet it is an verwhelming techno anthem which will accompany you for quite some time. adam beyers simulated usage surprises the crowd with its elegance and subtlety. forming an irresistible funk, the fabric of the track interweaves various tiny elements. this savageness obviously manifests in his musical approach which can be characterized by his open-mindedness in regard to diverse influences, currents and styles. simulated usage is strong and joyful, it is techno in its best sense. once again, adam beyer und luke slater manage to coin the face of contemporary club music.

nice price deal !!! nother pounding hybrid set of low-end killers here from hot-flush, kicking off with the tumbling rhythms and wobbling sublow of ?deep under? - its a track that teeters on the brink of breaks science throughout, keeping itself wrapped up in a relentless bass envelope despite the distractions brought on by constantly evolving skitters - mighty stuff. the rhodes-inflected breaks and bass clash of ?sparkle? offers time for reflection on the flip, borrowing a melodic underlay from some abandoned, dusty jazz-club somewhere strange, tugging you back underground with its careful arrangement if frequencies at the lowest end of the spectrum. righteous

mixes by crowdpleaser & oliver mental groove, donato dozzy & giorgio gigli

after several remixes and longtime waiting our artist h.o.s.h. releases his next own ep. and he is back with a real banger! >the valve< sounds connected to steppenwolf, but feels more like a coninue: more modern, more pushing and more groove. like hell! a balkan- flute plays sometimes, but very harmonic to the track. heebie-jeebie! >super sick bowl< is a fantastic groove, too, but a bit more housy like classic recordings. awesome, never boring housebeat spiced with two cool and sick breaks. this loop could run forever. single words work perfect with the beat and provide a stimulating sexappeal. under a fig tree starts more technoid with the sound, but has still a groovy house for 3 minutes til the break - and out of this break a new sound is evolving. on the one this track continues with a warm bass hook, leaving the technoid sounds behind. what a twist! just beautyfull! thanx hosh
