fresh 2010 repress !! maybe silent servant (aka john mendez) has been at the coloured sweeties and fizzy pop, as the two tracks for >negative fascinations< are decidedly more upbeat than offerings on his previous three sandwell district releases, or indeed his own historia y violencia label. that s not to say that they are exactly cheery though - the string-like drones of >discipline< will doubtless send a shiver up the spine of many a raver - but >demonstration< certainly ups the tempo by a notch or two compared to the much deeper flavours that we have become accustomed to. an accomplished enhancement of his production, whilst remaining true to his trademark textured sound...

for intactos 24th release we welcome nicole moudaber. christened by john digweed as the >queen of dark house< as well as being named in many top djs techno charts – nicoles music clearly has a broad appeal. when carl cox was asked last month by dj mag who was the most underrated dj in 2009, he answered >nicole moudaber, ive been following her career for the last three years - her productions and djing. she s amazing.<

matinee winter festival sampler part 1!!

supported by adam beyer, john digweed, dominik eulberg, ewan pearson, perc, danny tenaglia, dave tarrida. roland m. dill is a passionate dj, trained musician as well as bit of a scientist. this release tells a story of psycho acoustics. so expect >low go< to be something special for your ears and for your soul. roland likes chicagomusic and this track has the chicagoesque feeling in it from the beginning. those who remember green velvet will get a hang also on this powerhouse-techno production! this track will be easily fitted in to every berghain dj set and rock the shit out of everyone on the dance floor. dont expect dubbed out lushness, this is serious dance or die action .
the remixes come from prominent producers around europe, so starting chronological from a2 to b2: sian has appeared on a lot on raves and parties with his surf board. he is an international traveller who loves to be reminded of the times when surfing farmers left their houses with door frames and no doors. his remix works in a way a countdown functions. building up tension at an incredible speed, this track is set out to explode... but sian would not be sian if he had not developed a club friendly torture . sian rides the wave of superfatt basslines and adds a sequence that sounds as if someone had replaced his teeth with thin pieces of metal, creating a humming voice comparable to one of a jaws harp. sian keeps the tension going with very few elements and shows he is a true masterof techno.
secret cinema has been accompanying us since his first releases mid of the 90ies and we truly believe quality prevails, not to mention his mayor chart hit just 3 months ago with “shake ur tech-ass”. well secret cinema is unbelievably massive in his production. we dont see how anyone can fatten up the sound more than he can. but it is not only about tuning and pimping and pimping and tuning... his remix is a masters piece of perfectionbecause it creates something rare... deep emotional hydraulic strength. this is like diving head on into a pool of silicone and getting sucked into it. this track has an hypnotic feel to it that is comparable to radiohead.
darko esser is an icon in the techno scene of the netherlands. his remix takes the track in to a direction you would not expect it could go to. starting rather minimal darkos remix soon takes a turn and brings in jack elements and cool nostalgic melodies that will warm the heart of every detroit techno lover. was it derrick may who played chords like this... these strings are looked up in the back of our heads like childhood memories of having your first popcycle exploding in your mouth. this is soulful music with just enough analogue imperfection and warmth to it.

finally available the collectors edition of >disco3000< as part of the kindred spirits x artyard collaboration. featured in a heavy duty sleeve, 180 grams vinyl and extensive liner notes, limited to 500 copies worldwide!

siopis is not setting out to change the entire landscape of dance music, but he is doing his part to keep routine samples, repetitive vocals and redictable formulas at bay. his reinvention of seasoned veteran producer silversurfer, is a reincarnation that exudes development, maturity and experimentation. stemming from the roots of an era spent making many a club ready killers that touted him as a promising talent in the early 00s. his latest get physical release, >really love ya<, reveals even more flashes of brilliance of his production artistry.

(a new project from the artist formerly known as touch sensitive) and downtown party network (eskimo), with a lovely vocal and instrumental mix by 6th borough project (craig smith & the revenge)

chantals tracks are tinged with a hazy, nocturnal sadness, a touch of sexy, decadent disco glamour and a retro palette of sounds that reminds the listener of the synthesised soundtracks to john carpenters horror films. diegors & the dons (aka m. aguayo) tracks are testimonies to this fact. built simply but well, in the comeme style for maximum dancefloor power. the overall strangeness plus the syncopated melodies are distinctly latin and couldnt have come from any other label. cÓmeme is hot right now and this is definitely the best record they have done so far

blackstrobe are back from beyond. their newest dance floor gems are a foray back into the darkest realms of disco with their unique blend of boogietrance, softgoth, gaybiker house music. on their latest release they employ deep gothy hooks that match perfectly with a nostalgic italo flair and dark disco pulses. dancefloor zombies and casual listeners should find these retro-futurist tracks akin to the worlds of john carpenter and the twilight zone. trevor jackson >great release< // chloé >good tracks, will play them< // dj hell >great single<

the count & sinden release two more devastating club tracks in the form of strange things / elephant 1234. the release features two vastly different tracks showcasing the count & sindens eclectic taste and endless talents. with an infectious chorus sampling john holts early 70s lost reggae classic of the same name, the maverick duos strange things is a haunting yet energised roots meets old skool jungle anthem, set to get the temperature rising. strange things is backed with elephant 1234, a tweaked 4/4 cut that takes influences from the best in todays european and us electronic music scenes with a count & sinden twist... this is where dance music is right here, right now.

after the debut albums from future beat alliance and aardvarck, delsin strikes again with this very deep soulful ambient techno album by dimension 5. until now dimension 5 did have only released one 12, but one which was directly praised by fabrice lig, laurent garnier and others. his album alien artform holds both deep, ambient like techno to listen to (think: john beltran & detroit escalator company) as well as more dancefloor-aimed material, without losing the soft touch, (think: kenny larkin & aril brikha). this is (detroit) techno as it is meant to be: soulful & deep. should appeal to fans of aril brikha, d.e.s. and the dubbier german techno stuff. tip!

twentieth release in fat cats famed split series compilations, this record combines norways alog with sunroof! member astral social club.
active since 1997 and one of norways leading exponents of experimentalelectronic music, alog is the duo of espen sommer eide and dag-are haugan, mainstays at the rune grammofon label.
alogs unique, hybrid sound has since developed through four albums that have unfurled a series of abstract yet accessible, self-contained sound worlds, each animated with their own internal logic, mixing a wide variety of bothelectronic and acoustic sources into something warm, intricate and organic.
alog embrace the freedom to flit and root in the cracks between strands of minimalism, electronica, post-rock, improv and vernacular music, merging woozy, stuttering electronica (a la oval or nobukazu takemura), with rich, shoegazey guitars, freeform improvisation, scandinavian folk, field recording and the masterful editing and soundscaping of electroacoustic composition.
astral social club is the project of prolific scottish-born neil campbell, apivotal figure on the uk post-punk underground, with a vast catalogue and numerous collaborations.
a member of both matthew bowers total and sunroof! projects, he appeared on three of the latters albums before helping to form the hugely influential and prolific (over 40 releases) leeds-based drone/psych-rock outfit vibracathedral orchestra in 1998.
campbell left vco in 2006 to go solo as astral social club, under which moniker he has released a number of albums (on labels like vhf, important, qbico, textile) and an ever-increasing stream of self-released cdrs in alimited edition series of volumes (currently up to #19).
the three tracks here were recorded by campbell, john clyde-evans, paul walsh and spider stacy.

supported by monika kruse, damian lazarus, slam, lauhaus, audiofly, chloe, heidi, lee curtiss, ryan crosson, john digweed, julien chaptal, gorge, sian, adultnapper, kiki, burnski, ralf kollmann, ..

nice price deal !!! intimacy waste no time in following up paul woolfords >false prophet ep< with another missive, this time from belfast duo timmy stewart& john mciver - collectively known as jet project. responsible for a steady stream of dancefloor moments which often combine a rare appreciation for dancefloor dynamics, engaging & provocative sample sources, and a knack for arrangement that maintains the energy. its not surprising to know that andrew weatherall is a fan. label head paul woolford first met the boys in belfast in 2003 and after many repeat visits to play at their residencies, the stiff kitten and shine, (both techno institutions), their bond was sealed. the title track from this ep takes a large part of its inspiration from a charles baudelaire recital and is hard evidence that jet project truly take their lead from nobody. on the flip, we march at dawn furthers the cause - and we are then taken on a ride by the in-form sian via his heart bound for hell reworking, which rebuilds the track and surges upwards with more pressure, capping off a killer new ep for all involved..
