chicagos richard pegue was one of the most intriguing figures to come out of the chicago soul scene in the 1960s and 1970s. raised during the citys fertile doo-wop era, pegue immersed himself in music immediately. he cut his chops as a mobile dj, record store clerk and recording artist before stepping into the booth as one of chicagos most enduring radio personalities to grace the citys airwaves. the nickel and penny labels featured in this compilation are twin sides of the same eccentric coin, pegue himself.

alex and bill met 16 years ago when bill signed one of alex s first productions (is this the rhythm? by rhythmnvibe) to a new york label he was running. alex, whose father lives in the us, was a regular visitor to the states and they sent many happy hours together hanging out at the sound factory bar and comparing maw dubs. when bill returned to the uk in 1996, they had a few sessions together making house music, though neither of them can remember why they never finished anything or, indeed, what became of the tracks. fast forward a few years and they finally got back into the studio to make sweet music together under the moniker hotel motel. since then they have created a rich seam of work that some have already described as, like salvador dali with his pants down being fellated by deirdre barlow. few would disagree.

83370 is the first transmission from ollie viero and nico serrus, a pair of french brothers who grew up in a beach town along the coast of the french provence, saint-ayg, which has since become the basis for their name: sinteg. now based in montreal, their collective output has made up the bulk of fur trade recordings signature sound - this sixth label offering is the third to feature one of the two brothers at the helm. they are fresh and prolific and, as such, they are the sound of a new generation of montreal producers. vieros version of house music is upbeat, fiercely layered with percussive latinized shuffles and necksnapping samples. meanwhile, brother mindbend is one of the labels co-founders and has been designing its style and directions since the beginning. together, sinteg is a breeding ground of propulsive dance music punctured with tiny shards of detroit funk and chicago soul, but with the brittle dryness of techno substituting in for the deepness of house.

full flavor music returns to close out 2011 with the mighty compilawax sampler. featured on this various artists compilation are four of the best digital selling tunes the label has previously released.

andreas reihse is well known since 1994 in his role as musician with kreidler. sometimes he releases club music, for example using his alias april or with detlef weinrich (kreidler, tolouse lowtrax) as binford on labels like italic, onitor or smoothrooms. he also composed soundtracks for artist movies and installations (rosemarie trockel, maximilian zentz zlomowitz, thea djordjadze, andreas gursky, frances scholz/mark von schlegell, among others). romantic comedy is music for dark clubs, for places without much light and oxygen – its driving, percussive dance music. a comedy in six acts: from l.a. to düsseldorf and back. music and lyrics? - pop goes my heart! - of course its a romantic comedy, a bittersweet romance full of memories and a bit of sorrow. >der lange weg nach düsseldorf< the title reminds of mittagspauses der lange weg nach derendorf, derendorf, the district of düsseldorf where andreas reihse and stefan betke / pole in the late 80ies shared a rehearsal room. langeweg also was the adress of the studio of klaus dinger in zeeland. the titles of the other pieces refer to dubious characters that show that the trip on the west coast makes stops in manchester, milano, brussels and london without forgetting charlottenburg and williamsburg. places that hold up against oblivion and reinvent themselves. your club needs you. the cover was designed by artist thea djordjadze

following his dream ep release last year that featured an amazing j.t.c. remix, juanpablo drops us this time another especial production called mother mountain ep that shows clearly how hard he is pushing to create his own beat. last year his song dream was reviewed by some specialized media as hard to describe but easy to love and we think that the mother mountain track on this record will get a similar description. sea people is the second track and for this song juanpablo has invited spanish producer vinz vincenzo to collaborate with him in the production. this artist has been around for a long time and has made a lot of music in many different types that are far away from electronic genres which gives a plus to the end result of this production. and lastly, we have a remix of mother mountain by the mythic spanish producer arcanoid who has released on labels such as tesla, semantica, etc. his remix is pure techno, very hypnotic, dark and mental but always with his personal touch. probably the most club oriented tune on this record.

diynamic is back to release its 053 ep. this time its a classic 4 tracker showcasing some of the finest young talents in house music. after their hit single ‘deep in the three’ on 2diy4, adriatique and thyladomid are back making their debut on mother label diynamic. ‘the l way’ is combining a emotive vocal line with warm pads and a driving bass, for a fresh yet deep sound. „touch me“ from italians newcomer hunter_game is a very deep and sexy track with nice vocals and very smooth hypnotic sounds. on b1 the two romanians ntfo make their second appearance on diynamic. ‘feelings’ is a housejam of highest calibre. with chunky bass stabs, funky-muted guitar sounds and a crispy hookline this song is made to make you shake. ‘smiling faces’ by london-duo app shines with its laid-back groove and its trippy vocals. the breakdown unfolds into a new wide dimension before coming back with a strong groove. quality time is guaranteed.

soniculture, the lisbon-based label, proudly presents billy dalessandros 5th album entitled cracktime. this project forges a new generation of production style and sound design for billy as he cocks the shotgun of his latest experiment in electronic debauchery. cracktime sonically defines those innocent and naughty moments that each of us exhibit, in our own way, that helps to fulfill our lives with all those insane memories we carry with us back to the grave. thirteen tracks round out this ring match in a dub-infused, 303- injected, chicago-style bassd-out fight that lasts just about an hour. so sit back (or jack back) to the show, and remember...that if religion is the opium of the masses, music definitely gives us our daily crack.
