its the now generation take over. floating points, space dimension controller, kyle hall, joy orbinson and... ka§par. take note and follow them!<br / its a fact that groovement has rightfully captured the attention of a few of todays most relevant djs over the course of 2010, and this new installment is another must have... ka§par has stood out as one of portugals most charismatic and cherished underground artists, and his work in recent times featured another release on groovement (>music life<). now he returns with yet another floor shaker all his own: >whatchadoo<.

with their first co-production, dj / producer paul woolford and the irish-born producer team paul hamill and dee lievense aka psycatron deliver the prove that uk techno has not lost any of its energy or visionary power in the year 2010. after releases for carl craigs planet e label and r & s (psycatron) resp. 2020 vision or renaissance (paul woolford), the two tracks on the >thunder ep< are consequently moving to the next level. >thunder< impresses with extremely dynamic drumming and always changing percussion patterns. a rhythm body that is constantly in motion and will be enlightening every single dance floor with its hypnotic power dub. >cloud 9<, however, is stepping back at first and stresses an explicit chord techno structure despite its solid pumping elements before integrating some noise rave signals following the epic break after some 5 minutes, as it was totally naturally and thus letting the whole floor blast off. with such joy of telling and the eagerness to experiment in a musical way, you are really looking forward to the winter club season 2010/2011!

big mixes by joy kitikonti & piatto!

to open eyes, not ears to hear what there is to see -- just one of the many paradoxes mainz-based butch manages to merge with verve. to capture the duality of his sounds that oscillate between under and over, techno and house, spirituality and marketability, club and home stereo, to celebrate the everyday high and question it at the same time, is just one of the many talents and specialties of this particular dj and producer whose light shines from the orient and whose future lies in yonderland. this and much more is the starting point for a terrific second long player, released by proud and excited bülent gürler himself on his very own, newly founded imprint bouq. leaving the flattering protection of his mayor label behind to spread his creative wings and fly around the world as free as a bird, the multi-facetted, mainz-based producer, more selfconfident and independent than ever, is presenting himself in the best party light

deep teknologis t. williams is back with his biggest and best track to date.
following the t. williams ep (played and praised by sinden, kode9, 2562, brodinski, joy orbison, gerd janson and more), >heartbeat< sees him team up with terri walker, who earlier this year inked an album deal with none other than roc-a-fella records.

oliver schleenvoigt is one of the two parts of the monoroom duo, who should be well known by everybody. with his first solo ep on ostwind records, oliver shows what he is capable of and makes a wonderful debut with his kunstflug ep. a-side tracks >gerissene rolle< and >zwirbelturm< are 2 driving tech house bombs with a lot of feelings, small delicacies and the right nip in terms of groove. on the b-side, we will find david labeij and neurotronturning the tables, performing magic with 2 damn phat remixes. both of them, with their very own style, make for the track >zwirbelturm< be a fabulous joy and for the ep to become an even more smooth thing. dutch fluffy tech meets mecklenburg neutron techno. a big thank you to the remixers and of course to oli for this successful debut.

hot off the heals of their last release, blackdisco is back with another friend from the deep. a great tastemaker and all-around record freak, sebastian grätz aka basso, digs up some high class nuggets to round out the summer months. these four tracks conjure imagery of long nights in sweaty jazz-funk speakeasies from the darkest corners of the globe.

dandy jack is well known for his multiple collaborations. its now about time to lay them down on wax.
the second chapter is a honest, loud and direct ode to the joy of queen bass. if you are searching for deep house and abstract minimal you should better pass your way.
dandy jack teams up with geneva fellows lad and quenum on the a side for what could be described as a tremendous and heavy ride into the catacombs of techno. sonja moonear has a slightly happier and smoother answer on the b side and challenges us with a long and percussive intro that leads into a melancholic twist. quenum and lad arent new to the electronic music and have been active over a decade. they have already been working together for labels like num and thema. sonja is dandys partner in crime as junction sm and ruta5s half head.

introducing magic wire recordings….. new label from werkdiscs artist lone (aka matt cutler). with this debut 2 track 10 inch from the man himself we are graced with two slabs of nostalgic neu haus and early 90s hardcore, some what of a departure from the dreamy, hazed out hip hop of his albums >ecstasy & friends< and the now classic >lemurian<. >pineapple crush< hits us with old skool 4/4 808s and heavy rave stabs, all drenched in his own unique melodic style. this is music that will destroy the club but will also soundtrack hazy afternoon parties in the sun. gorgeous but heavy and already being cained by the likes of glasgows luckyme crew, alexander nut, kode 9, trg, gilles peterson, joy orbison and mike paradinas. this is a huge step forward you wont have seen coming!

for the 50th release creme goes back to its italo roots to release these two bombs. ofcourse the rotting corpse of italo has been desecrated endlessly over the last few years by predatory hipsters to gain scenepoints, but that doesnt mean there isnt still some joy to be found in the oversatured tearjerking cotton candy sound of true mediteranean peacockery. so it is with some smug gratification that we present to you gino felino. pure, uncut and real to the bone italo - definitely too late for the trend, but perhaps coming soon to an ipad near you. listen and learn, cause none of you clowns roll like the west coast rolls! comes in a ultra neat package!

nice price deal !!! this second release from glasgows fortified recordings is a departure in sound from their first acclaimed ep by dundees loops haunt, but all the same in attitude. iranian born, texas residing garagesmith vvv uses his late night musical tests to forge and perfect his sonic output, and deploys a range of techniques not normally found in the often formulaic world of garage and dubstep. this patchwork quilt of laced beats, field recordings and intensive sample editing has made manifest a four track ep that simultaneously references the work steve gurley, todd edwards, carl craig, my bloody valentine, the cocteau twins and roy davis junior via the bastardised strains of 2-step and house practiced by the likes of ramadanman, untold and joy orbison, peppered with that magic elusive el_b swing that only the greats are able to achieve. at the same time familiar yet different (how many times have you heard that?), the four tracks on projects kick with the intensity of the best club music and invokes the cosmic spirit of classic motor city techno with an uplifting and deep soulful vibe that reveals layers of orchestrated natural sound upon repeated listens. in other words, its sexy as fuck. slated for an official release early march , one can only assume this limited 12inch will fly off the shelf much like fortified s inaugural release did

first release on the all new numbers label is a collaboration between dress 2 sweat, stuffrecords and wireblock. if u want me is threatening to be the first underground hit of 2010, already finding its way into the boxes of kode9, martyn, sinden, joy orbison and modeselektor, who included it as the opening track in their recent resident advisor podcast. the limited edition vinyl release will feature music on side a with a laser etched b side.

quarks remixed by turner, gonzales, schneider tm, submission and jamie hodge. released in 2000 on gudrun guts monika enterprise imprint.
turner turns the queens heart - the >königin< is dancing now.
gonzales wanted all and more, and he got it: >alles und mehr< flying straight and soft through the clouds.
schneider tm drops the guitars - >fallen< - sounds like an ejection seat.
submission bought a new dub dress and covered time (>zeit-hin<).
and at last but not least: jamie hodge is secretly catching us in the dark (>dunkeln<).
these remixes are beautiful and shy. just like roe deer. they give every track a new brightness and let them sparkle again. come on now - dance and dream away in quarksland.

>general motors, detroit, america< is the first offering to emerge from the mysterious parisian dance duo, acid washed. the influence of chicago and detroit techno lingers on the backseat in this six-minute joy-ride of sprawling atmospheric electronica. on the flipside, snake amply showcases a different, more collaborative side to acid washed. berlin based newcomer, barbara panther, catches the eye with a sultry vocal performance with a sting in the tail. equally adept at providing softness, her dynamism shimmers alongside the deft production. as per usual, record makers have assembled a stellar remix package. put in the hands of blackstrobe, the measured quality of general motors, detroit, america finds itself infused with a tension that thrills and flickers with a brooding energy that belongs on the dancefloor. gavin russom (dfa) calms the restless pulse at the heart of snake, evoking the aztec spirit of dj rolando before overdrawn arpeggiated solos are used to disrupt with pleasing effect.

sun dance is the debut full release by berlins rising sun, aka steffen laschinski. the ep features rising sun originals sun dance and candy in my pocket - two blissful tracks of old-style house-influenced minimalism infused with the heady atmosphere of early-90s innocence and joy - distant memories of simpler times - beach parties, bonfires, the sun rising over the sea at dawn… on the b-side, sven weisemann (mojuba, liebe*detail, a.r.t.less, styrax leaves) remixes sun dance, stretching it out into a beautiful shape-shifting epic. all tracks are mastered by masked techno maverick redshape (delsin, present, music man, styrax leaves). steffen laschinski is currently best known as the label boss of influential labels styrax records, styrax leaves and millions of moments. rising sun have previously featured on split artist releases on the workshop and ruin labels. b side plays inside out

the single release features remixes from joy for life, gold panda, sasha, and treasure fingers.

1994 classic by legendary chicago vocal group feat byron stingily!!

2nd single from the patrick cowley & jorge socarras album >catholic<. bleeding edge remixing by oni ayhun and noble editing by morgan geist added for your pleasure. while still everybody keeps guessing whos behind the mysterious and burning hot works of oni ayhun, macros got the mans first ever remix! o.a. obscured cowleys >memory fails me< with his trademark darkness and took it to the edge of engineering. and its got all that feeling, too! if you asked yourself what a forward-thinking patrick cowley might have done today - here is a serious offering. >burn brighter flame< is the disco heart of the album. with all disco crate digging of the decade, >bbf< is the ultimate find. since the original artists had intended this one to be a single theres also a stunning instrumental! we just remember how everybody got tears of joy when finn johannsen mixed the different versions of this for the first time at berlins picknick. who could have been asked for an edit of this gem other than metro areas morgan geist? creating a dialogue between the vocal and instrumental versions, his edit offers even more variety for the dj to mix in and out of this great tune.

big with richie hawtin, loco dice, ellen alien, sis, karotte and many more !! specially for amsterdams bangbang! he produced butchs super fluff disco stuff, the biggest ep of butch. 4 housy disco driven hits which will get the crowd moving!

nudisco are back! after several remixes and singles on label like yellow tail, poker flat, great stuff and opossum we are really proud to start our new label city lights music (clm) with this massive track called >violet<.

the second record >trapez 100 pt2< features a great dynamic track by dominik eulberg, and two remixes, one by break 3000 of oliver hackes legendary trapez track >der vampir von düsseldorf< and the other by the famous berlin duo format:b of florian meindls hit track >blast<. welcome back to the trapez world. dominik eulberg released stunning records on trapez in the past: >gasthof zum satten bass< was a huge hit and also >adler< createda waves of enthusiasm. with his exclusive track >ambivalent< for the trapez 100 release he refers to the days when techno was defined through its drive and enormous dynamic. >ambivalent< is exactly such a pounding driving track with a big synth joining in that creates joy and a great rush. mr eulberg was in a really good mood when he finished this track and we expect it to be played on many big raves. >der vampir von düsseldorf< (eng. the vampire from duesseldorf) is a legendary track, we released without any writing on the etiquette and just communicated by word. very few people knew that oliver hacke produced it and a lot of people like michael mayer and richi hawtin played the limited 12 inch a lot. now you get a very cool and fantastic, monumental, grinding remix by dirt crew records label owner break 3000. the format:b remix of florian meindls slammer >blast< is a winner. they manage to walk the fine line between techno and minimal by using sounds from mystery movies and funky beat patters, as well as slow down beats which create funky breaks and interludes that provide the original with a more trippy and rhythmic side.

storming italian remake of the old living joy hit!!

moxie say: we got hipped to the life of a party last year during a breaking contest in nyc, one of those old school ones in the bronx. it was pure ecstasy! so we extended the good part, so the trip would last longer. the idea was to combine party life with two other breakers tracks to form a steppers package and then mj died... browsing back through his catalogue we were reminded of two other sweet 70s tracks: the funky hum along and dance and the smoother, but dangerously infective let me show you (the way to go). the result is moxies tribute to mj. may he be with us forever. thank you for the inspiration and joy you gave us.

remixed by arnaud le texier / joy kitikonti / luca marano

peter kruder is one of those emblematic names that lead a whole decade and inspire myriads of djs, producers and clubbers all over the world. while he enjoys unprecedented success with kruder & dorfmeister and crossed into the platinum range (selling 1 million copies of the k&d sessions album), he never lost track of the underground. probably his stellar career would never have happened exactly this way if there wasn’t the other kruder: the adventurous dj, the deep producer, the challenging a&r at g-stone, the producer behind dj hell’s highly acclaimed “teufelswerk” album. in 15 years peter kruder has done only 3 singles under his own name though. when you get your ears around “chordal” and “law of return” it becomes totally clear why this rare outing happens on macro. kruder meets his macro debut full on modernism - showcasing his deep, dark, dancefloor grounded side. with a crisp harmonic sequence reminiscent of tchaikovsky’s nutcracker suite, “chordal” hijacks brains on the dancefloor with its vacuum depth and sizzling details. “law of return” on the other side is a kruder signature take on deepness - solemn chords wrapped around a hypnotic groove give you tears of joy. a masterpiece!

lim clear sexy red vinyl! after ues three massive bombs played by the likes of richie hawtin, loco dice, luciano and mathias kaden. 24 has the percussion line hooks which wander off in a full melodic bliss of over 10 minutes and a serious dose of forward thinking club music and a must for spring 2009. for his second release on resopal, the busy italian has come up with what we believe is a perfect mix between his dancefloor side and his newer material with a more techno-ish touch. 24 is a hard-hitting piece of percussive techno, while somebody send me love is a deeper, slightly hypnotic minimal affair still with the serious injection of funk that underlines the a-side. the remix is done by cecille recording artist ilario allicante who delivers pure summer joy

vinyl exclusive release! no digital !!!story02 brings you more tales from the deepside that have no author attached to them and rather sound like deephouse traditionals secretly and orally passed down from one wise deephouse initiate to the next. free from superficial glitzy effects, showy noodling or even the slightest nod to the latest fad in clubland every single one of these 3 tracks is like a condensed version of what deephouse is about and revokes mystic memories of nights in dark, bassridden basements. >deepcut59< is a manifest not for minimalism but simplicity where only the slow swelling of a chord can make you burst with joy and just the addition of a hi-hat will stir you into action with new vigor. >on the way back< over on the b-side features a relentlessly pushing, driving rhythm with abstract, piercing piano chords scattered all over while the title of the closing >rhodes on drums< says it all: sweet wailing, rhodes musings on >love and happiness< for those blue hours in the morning. this story is an epic!
